Simons Foundation Presents: A Space to Dance

Simons Foundation, 160 Fifth Avenue, Gerald D. Fishbach Auditorium, 2nd Floor, New York, NY, 10010

What happens when the worlds of physics and dance collide? This past fall quantum physicist LaToya Anderson and choreographer Raja Feather Kelly embarked on a journey to find out.

The duo is part of the first cohort of Open Interval, which is a new partnership between Simons Foundation and Gibney, the New York City-based dance company, performing arts hub and social action incubator. The new residency program creates space for participants to explore the connections between science and dance. Through exchange, conversation, and collaboration, they are able gain insight into a new perspective and examine the basic elements of their practice.

Join Anderson and Kelly as they sit down with Elizabeth Simolke, program manager of Science, Society and Culture at the Simons Foundation, to share about their collaborative process and the exciting outcomes of their time spent in dialogue with one another.
