An online workshop "Bharatanatyam meets Neuroscience" 

Picture
In collaboration with The Experimentalist, I am offering a workshop on the ideas proposed in Vichaar. The session will involve a brief introduction to the idea of ‘Bharatanatyam meets Neuroscience’. Sloka will discuss the important aspects of her production ‘Vichaar’, which in Sanskrit means ‘thought, perception, reflection, or contemplation’ and highlight the convergence of creative forces and brain complexity. The session will be interactive throughout and is for scientists, artists, enthusiasts, and all curious folks. Participants are encouraged to bring questions and observations for me to contribute to this exciting discipline and convergence. Please find more about this event here. 
The questions asked at the session were:
  • How does dance facilitate muscle memory and its impact?
  • How does creativity play a role in science and dance?  
  • Do you have any idea about learning music/ pursuing music at a young age, especially in children increases brain functionality and memory?
  • Do you think artistic practices should be encouraged more for those working in the sciences? 
  • Might movements are culturally associated?
  • The concept of creativity and age and the field of positive aging or creative aging.
