A DS&D signature program, where 4 Choreographers & 4 Scientists are paired together to collaborate on a dance piece informed by science. This years program will be exploring space, featuring scientists and choreographers from diverse fields & backgrounds.
Four choreographers create new dances inspired by their conversations with four scientists. One scientist is paired with one choreographer, dialoguing about the scientist’s field of study, which then becomes the starting point for the choreographer. The resulting dance is informed by science in some way rather than a literal demonstration of the science.
The overarching theme this year is space, with each scientist relating their work to the topic and each choreographer coming from diverse dance backgrounds.
DS&D has been exploring the intersection between dance and science for over 15 years; this program examines the myriad ways scientists and choreographers collaborate.
