Synaptic Rodeo: an innovative theatrical performance where neuroscience, technology, and art collide. This groundbreaking performance, featuring Dr. Laurel Trainor, Founder and Director of the LIVELab, blends scientific exploration with artistic expression. As Dr. Trainor portrays herself, her insights on human consciousness transition fluidly into dynamic performances enhanced by EEG, motion capture, eye tracking and active acoustics. Synaptic Rodeo pushes the boundaries of mind and body using LIVELab’s cutting-edge technology to forge new types of co-creation between artists and audience. Originally developed over a two-year residency, Synaptic Rodeo is being revived for 10th anniversary celebrations with exciting new additions, including eye tracking technology and an integrated research study. Witness the extraordinary collaboration of composer John Gzowski, choreographer Julia Aplin, media artist Jim Ruxton, and playwright Anna Chatterton. In this new iteration of the work, award winning and highly acclaimed director Evalyn Parry is joining the collaborative creative team of this immersive, interactive experience that redefines the intersection of science and art.
