Experience science and art intertwine as Dr. Shriya Srinivasan takes you behind the scenes of dance in an exciting workshop.
Step into a captivating world where the elegance of classical Indian dance converges with the precision of neuroscience and biomechanics. Dr. Srinivasan, Harvard Assistant Professor, acclaimed TEDx speaker, and Bharatanatyam artist, explores how the brain orchestrates both movement and expressions.
In this interactive workshop, Dr. Srinivasan blends her expertise in bioengineering with her passion for dance to explore the biomechanics behind graceful jumps, intricate turns, and fluid movements. Through hands-on exercises, participants will gain insight into how sensory feedback sharpens positioning during complex sequences and discover how the nervous system enables the expression of emotions through action.
Dr. Srinivasan will also present gripping audiovisuals to illustrate the physics behind dynamic movements, shedding light on how the brain processes rhythm, balance, and coordination. This unique fusion of science and art bridges tradition with innovation, offering dancers and enthusiasts a deeper understanding of the body in motion.
Whether you're a dancer, scientist, or simply curious about the intersection of art and technology, this workshop promises an unforgettable exploration of the science of movement and the timeless beauty of dance.
