Dive into the pre-frontal cortex with a rambunctious, thought-provoking multimedia dance show for all ages about adrenaline, dopamine, and oxytocin; combining emotive athleticism and cutting-edge science from award-winning company Infusion Physical Theatre. Explore the Three Systems of emotional regulation: threat, drive and soothe and the hormones that power them with humour and poignance.
An ensemble of contemporary dancers uses non-traditional partnering, actual lab images and original music to examine the molecules that make us move.
Special guests Professor Nicola Clayton FRS and Mark Baldwin OBE introduce the events.
Unpack the science with post-show talk by world-leading researchers Professors Ljiljana Fruk (BioNano Engineering) and David Belin (Psychology) as they discuss their work on these hormones and answer questions from the audience.
