Poetry of Motion maps the neural magic behind human potential and the science of peak performance. Featuring host Rina Dutta, Yale neuroscientist Dr. Sam McDougle, and artists Kyle Driggs and Randy Keto, this event combines a captivating live performance with circus elements, an interactive workshop, and an engaging conversation with the creators and scientist. Together, we answer the questions: Is fencing a dance or a sport? How is a ballet jump different from a basketball dunk?
