Testimonial

"SYREN’s work is the epitome of why it is crucial for society to examine STEM-related issues through an artistic lens and the beautiful end results that come from fusing together art and science. The audiences remain riveted and intellectually stimulated the entire time the incredible ensemble commands the stage. I think their work is groundbreaking and revolutionary for audiences of all ages-something not many can accomplish.” James Monroe, Producer of Adult Programs, Museum of Science, Boston

Description

Inspired by SYREN’s current work that explores Artificial Intelligence(AI), "Science in Motion" is a program that cultivates a classroom spirit of curiosity. SYREN provides a guided opportunity to physically explore scientific theories related to AI including neural networks, machine learning, and consciousness.

SYREN will work with you to learn more about the participants to craft a program that best serves your community!

This can be adapted into a workshop, residency, or Teacher PD.

Objectives

SIM will be a workshop where every body and ability to dance will be welcome and encouraged. Participants will work on their coordination, balance, memorization, rhythm, and overall awareness required for a movement based classroom. Participants will experience opportunities to make personal artistic choices and expression, engage muscle memory, and nonverbal expression. Participants will be guided in having a visceral response to the scientific theories during which they may begin connecting their own personal experiences with the theories.

Technical Specifications

• Set Up: 5-15 minutes, depending on if furniture needs to be moved.
• Break: Back to back is fine for two workshops, but a 20-30 minute break is needed for more workshops on the same day
• Strike: Any time to help with moving furniture to its original place.

• Program Space: Space and a clear/clean floor for the participants to move. The more space we have to use, the more participants will be able to fully explore the material with their bodies.
• Electricity/Wi-Fi: Yes, will need electricity and wi-fi can be useful for playing some music but doesn't have to be necessary.
• Audiovisual/Tech: Access to a bluetooth speaker or sound system to play music (loudly if need be) for accompaniment at various times during the workshop.
• Outside Possible: Yes, outside could be possible!
• Venue-Provided Supplies: Access to paper and pencil for writing prompts during the workshop. As well as large chart paper or white board for collective seeing/writing on collaborative work.
• Mobility/Location Needs: Happy to move classrooms if needed but if furniture is cleared/open space created in one place already - happy to stay put and have students come to us.
