A Roundtable event exploring collaborations and conversations between neuroscientists, performance practitioners and researchers. This event is supported by the University of Kent, and is organised by Nicola Shaughnessy (the School of Arts).

How can science benefit performance practice and scholarship and what can theatre and performance offer to scientific research? What methodologies are being used in interdisciplinary work and what new paradigms are being created from these interactions? How do cognitive perspectives engage with traditional approaches to performance? How do our bodies and brains engage with performance? What processes are involved in being in theatre?

Contributors include neuroscience professors Nicola Clayton (Cambridge), Francesca Happe (Kings) and Vincent Walsh (UCL), together with performance experts Rhonda Blair (USA/SMU), Anna Furse (Goldsmiths/Athletes of the Heart, UK) and Arti Prashar (Spare Tyre, UK) as well as representatives from two AHRC funded projects involving science/arts collaborations: Imagining Autism (University of Kent) and the Watching Dance Project (Universities of Manchester, Glasgow, Imperial College and York St John).
