When Art & Science Collide: How Dance Met Nuclear Science in “Of Equal Place: Isotopes in Motion”
Type: Presentation
Description:
The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) officially opened in May of 2022, which was celebrated by many public events. The most unique was three dance performances at the Wharton Center, put on by two dance companies (Dance Exchange from Baltimore and Happendance from Lansing) with additional cast from local high school students and FRIB scientists. These FRIB-supported shows, made possible thanks to FRIB director Thomas Glasmacher and Wharton executive director Eric Olmscheid, told the story of FRIB research through movement, sound, and video. Each performance was followed by workshops and laboratory tours for the attendees. This presentation will explore and demonstrate the ways this partnership reached new audiences!
