Dissecting Drama and Dance: The Science of Performance

In theater and dance, performers use their voices and bodies to express ideas. But science has a role in performance as well.

What can physiology tell us about how our bodies move? What insights do neurology and psychology have into the practice of memorizing lines and acting?

Join scientists, dancers, and actors as we experience the science of drama and dance.

Performers: Global Girls, Dramagirls at Redmoon Theater

Speakers:


  • Dr. Sian Beilock, Assistant Professor of Psychology, The University of Chicago
