Remembering and honoring those who gave their lives in service to our country. In our work with veterans and military families- we are continually reminded that remembrance is not only about looking back — it is about listening deeply, building connection, and moving forward with hope.

PHYSICS + DANCE LAB 🧪

10AM-3PM + MAY 31ST +

Discover how dance can humanize and advance scientific research and how physics concepts can be expressed through dance in an immersive, day-long dance laboratory. This is a rare opportunity to move, learn, and create within a process where dance is treated as research, connection, and human expression-working shoulder to shoulder with artists and scientists shaping new knowledge together.

Designed for high school and undergraduate students, local dance artists, and educators looking to expand their understanding of dance integration, this day-long intensive invites you to investigate big ideas through the body-using movement as a way to explore, question, and make meaning. No dance experience needed!

Participants will work alongside both scientists and dancers, collaborating directly with Dr. Sarah Watzman, Principal Investigator and associate professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Cincinnati, and Michelle Pearson, Founder and Artistic Director of Black Box Dance Theatre (BBDT). Supported by the National Science Foundation, the intensive explores quantum physics through physical practice and creative inquiry-translating complex science and the human stories behind it into an original, evening-length performance piece.
