Soothe – Dance Theatre and Brain Chemistry
Presented by Infusion Physical Theatre, in support of Baca. http://Bacacharity.org.uk
Award winning Infusion Physical Theatre looks at adrenaline, dopamine, and oxytocin in a multimedia dance show for all ages.
Dive into the pre-frontal cortex for an off-balance, fun, emotive dance exploration of the three modes of emotional regulation: Threat, Drive and Soothe.
This 4-cast ensemble brings to life the movement of mental well-being in a thoughtful and rambunctious examination of the hormones that push, pull and drag us through life. Combining contemporary dance, non-traditional partnering, original music and Cambridge University lab images Infusion follows the cravings of a post-lockdown society eager for recovery.
Unpack the science with post-show talk by engaging, world-leading researchers Professors David Belin (Psychology) and Ljiljana Fruk (Bionano Engineering) as they discuss their work on these hormones and answer questions from the audience!
