2022 INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON THE BRAIN AND CREATIVE MOVEMENT
Grant Information: NSF Award # 2024837
This international interdisciplinary workshop focuses on the theme of Creative Movements and the Brain. The goal of the workshop is to facilitate a dialogue between science and dance and instigate totally new ideas and ways of thinking that would act as a catalyst for new research directions and creative approaches that would have been difficult to conceive of otherwise. The workshop will address this topic from the twin perspectives of the artist and the scientist. Participants thus will include dancers, choreographers, neuroscientists, neurologists, roboticists, engineers, kinesiologists, dance therapists, and students from those disciplines. Talks and Performances will be organized in seven tracks:
Session 1: History, Sociology, Evolutionary Biology of Dance
Session 2: Cognitive Neuroscience of Dance
Session 3: The Shared Experience of Dance
Session 4: Embodied Cognition and Learning of Dance
Session 5: AI, Robotics, Technology and Dance
Session 6: Dance for Health – Citlali Lopez-Ortiz
