Do Neurons Dance?

Choreographer Jody Oberfelder believes they do – and that thinking, that thoughts, come from the body. In a new work, she tried to connect the science and the choreography – to the detriment of dance, at first. “So I thought, why not get the audience to try to feel their brains, without telling them how? To set up situations where they’re interacting not only with their minds intellectually but passing that down through the body, being in a physical space with other bodies, making connections with others and with sensation?”
