When scientists and dancers collaborate, they usually produce an impressionistic interpretation of science, not science itself. University of Minnesota biomedical engineer David Odde, choreographer Carl Flink, and their ongoing Moving Cell Project prove what’s possible when their respective disciplines really combine forces. Odde contends that substantive changes constantly occur at the body’s subcellular level—in the form of collisions—and that these collisions are essential to healthy cells. This cellular process is, in turn, a starting point for Flink’s choreography, which examines the real physical impact between human bodies. In this program, Odde, Flink, and members of Flink’s dance company, Black Label Movement, share recent outcomes and video excerpts from their ongoing research.
