  Chaired by CUDS Senior Treasurer and Professor in Comparative Cognition, Prof. Nicola Clayton, and artist, choreographer, and former Artistic Director of Rambert Dance Company, Mark Baldwin OBE, CUDS welcomed a panel of experts to the McCrum Lecture Theatre in February 2020 for an evening of presentation and discussion. Offering a glimpse of the wealth of multidisciplinary work surrounding science and dance, esteemed panellists Dr. Philip Barnard, Jane Turner, and Matthias Sperling explained the ideas that had arisen from conversations and scientific research in their work - from neuroscience to animal cognition, environmental concerns to science fiction. Though we merely scratched the surface of the myriad inter-connections of science and dance in our 2-hour panel session, the event was undoubtedly insightful and inspiring, pointing to new horizons of opportunity in the future of dance and its position in the broader cultural sphere. Many thanks to all of our wonderful panellists and the entire CUDS committee for offering such a new and interesting evening, with thanks especially to out Events Officers: Hannah Smith for convening the panellists and Jennifer Tang for hosting questions during the event.
