COLLISION - the place where Qi Gong, contemporary dance and science collide.

The intent for the creation of “Collision,” was to create a “live human laboratory” where a scientist could come in and process whatever ideas or theories through a different kind of laboratory-- where the materials for processing an idea or hypothesis is the human nervous system, and then observe what comes from this embodied approach to knowledge finding.
