Created in Portugal by Ana Silva
Festas com Alma®
Method
A method for turning memory, identity and symbolism into meaningful celebrations.
The starting point
Begin with the person,
not the theme.
The Festas com Alma® Method is a Portuguese approach to event design that explores the memories, relationships, cultural references and emotions behind a celebration and translates them into a coherent live experience.
The method was created in the context of childhood celebrations, where memory is still being formed and even the smallest design choice can become part of a family’s story. Its principles can also be applied to wider event and experiential contexts whenever meaning, belonging and emotional connection matter.
The frameworkSix pillars,
Six pillars,
one coherent experience.
Identity
Recognise the person, family, place or culture that the experience must represent.
Symbolism
Choose visual elements for what they mean, not only for how they look.
Emotional palette
Use colour to guide atmosphere, perception and feeling.
Storyliving
Allow guests to participate in the story instead of only observing a setting.
Scenography
Translate the narrative into space, scale, composition, material, rhythm and focal moments.
