Iteratia: A modern dance inspired by (and using) the mathematical idea of iteration. I created and performed in this work in collaboration with Sarah Hixon (Artistic Director of Hixon Dance and Amanda Whiteman (Artistic Director of GroundShare Arts Alliance). It premiered at the National Academy of Sciences on June 29, 2015, as an event prior to a staged reading of Tom Stoppard's "Arcadia" by the Shakespeare Theatre Company, hosted by the Cultural Programs of the National Academy of Sciences. Iteration and other mathematical ideas feature prominently in the play. See an announcement about the event here.
A talk I gave at DASER (DC Art Science Evening Rendezvous) about the intersection of science and dance. DASERs are events held by the Cultural Programs of the National Academy of Sciences that bring together scientists and artists who investigate art+science issues and activities. This DASER on June 18, 2015, was all about science and the performing arts.
