Testimonial
“I have had the pleasure of working with several dance companies on projects at the intersection of science and art, and none have come close to SYREN in terms of ease of collaboration, raw creativity, and execution.”
Dr. Paul Sutter, Ohio State University
“Like anything deep and rich, I got something new out of it each time I experienced it. Science and dance were both well served by this collaboration.”
Dr. Allen Mincer, New York University

Description
Science in Motion is a lecture demonstration designed to cultivate a spirit of curiosity, conversation, and collaboration. SYREN will illustrate our process of dance making in general, while also showing how we use dance to explore subjects we want to learn more about like artifical intelligence! SYREN aims to shed light on scientific principles through the lens of dance and human connection.
Objectives
This program will provide students with insights around the importance of exploring curiosities, of not being afraid of taking risks, as well as an "inside look" on how a dance company creates. The program will allow students to be in conversation with the artists about how their own interests may have the potential to spark new conversations and collaborations in their own lives.
