About the show:
A world of ideas comes alive on stage in Experiments: Where Logic and Emotion Collide. LINK Dance captures the creativity, experimentation, and intuition that scientists and artists employ in understanding the world around them. Based on three years of research between dancers and behavioural ecologists (who study the non-verbal communication of animals), Experiments is a dance piece that the Georgia Straight describes as a production that “brings together the worlds of art and science, and … manages to do so in a show quite unlike anything you’ve seen before.”
