via ScienceNOWBy John BohannonScienceNOW Daily News20 November 2008Six weeks ago, the Gonzo Scientist challenged researchers around the world to interpret their Ph.D. research in dance form, film the dance, and share it with the world on YouTube (Science, 10 October, p. 186). By the 11 p.m. deadline this past Sunday, 36 dances--including solo ballet and circus spectacle--had been submitted online. A panel of nine judges--the three winners of the first "Dance Your Ph.D." contest, three scientists from Harvard University, and three artistic directors of the dance company Pilobolus--scored the dances on their ability to bridge the art and science worlds. Today, Science announces the winners of the 2009 AAAS Science Dance Contest in four categories: Graduate Students, Postdocs, Professors, and Popular Choice:Graduate StudentsSue Lynn Lau chose classical ballet and highly kinetic party dancing as the way to interpret her Ph.D. thesis, "The role of vitamin D in beta-cell function." As The Nutcracker Suite lilts in the background, Lau, a graduate student from the Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Sydney, Australia, appears as the Sugarplum Fairy, delivering marshmallow glucose to four beta cell dancers. Meanwhile, a fifth dancer flings and twirls around the stage--representing the sunlight required for vitamin D biosynthesis.
Contemporary creation as a tool
Circostrada Network, a European information and exchange network on street arts and new circus, has published a collective work called “Arts in the urban space: contemporary creation as a tool”."The publication aims to engage in deeper reflection on the effects of artistic intervention in public spaces. We asked European scholars of various fields to analyze, from the perspective of their own domain, the impact that artists’ presence has on the public space. What does it mean for society to see the arts moving into a space that was not originally conceived for them? What role can the street arts play in making adjustments on our cities or improving the framework of our lives? Should we beware of the possible exploitation of artistic creation towards political ends?"
