The Institute for Advanced Computational Science and the Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science invite you to see "Ticktock", a collaborative performance by IACS Affiliate and Science Communicator Paul Sutter with SYREN Modern Dance. "Ticktock" is a dance that uses narrative sequences and highly physical movement to explore the nature of time, such as Einsteinʼs theories of Special and General Relativity, the arrow of time, and our human experiences of perception and memory.

Though admittance is free, REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. Wine and Cheese reception immediately following.
