The Dance

Confluence explores the enduring--and often surprising connections between three of the most essential aspects of the human experience: art, science, and creativity. A range of stories are told by a terrific array of characters, some well known like Joshua Bell, the artist Nick Cave, and the multi-Grammy winning octet Roomful of Teeth; others will be wonderful discoveries for audiences.

The Dance

Season 1 Episode 101 | 56m 46s | CC

The Dance reveals how art & technology are forever engaged in a push/pull dialog that advances creative enterprise. Scientists and engineers learn from artists while artists use new technologies in unexpected ways. A choreographer/engineer teaches robots to dance. A robot enables neurologically challenged children to paint. A physicist uses jazz to understand the universe. And more.
