Abstract

The arts are an arena in which the body is central to the process of inquiry and indeed constitutes a mode of knowing. In a traditional academic setting, engineering and the arts are considered separate fields. This dance project aims to bridge the gap between these fields and between academia and wider society through a participatory approach to expressing engineering knowledge. Participants were invited to convey the knowledge, and viewers were entertained by academic information presented in an alternative medium. This chapter outlines the approach taken to produce the film, from initial conception of the idea to planning and filming.

Open to PhD candidates in biology, physics, chemistry and social science, the ‘Dance your PhD’ competition was first launched in 2007 and is held annually, sponsored by Science Magazine, the American Association for the Advancement of Science and HighWire Press. A panel consisting of both artists and sciences selects the winners. In 2017 it offered a cash prize of $2500 USD, divided among the four categories. Winning videos can be viewed at http://​www.​sciencemag.​org/​news/​2017/​05/​announcing-2017-dance-your-phd-contest

While these stories all come from a Western literary background, an added advantage of dancing science is that it can potentially reach audiences across cultures, with the steps, the rhythms and the choreography not primarily reliant on the written word.
