Live encounters
I have made conference presentations about neuroscience and the science of music. More recently, I have incorporated an element of performance into them.
Performance · Copley Symphony Hall
This performance at Copley Symphony Hall was a collaboration with the San Diego Symphony and the Fleet Science Center, with more than 6,000 children and parents attending. Between sets by the Symphony, we made short presentations about the science of sound.
Performance · Teacher conference · California Association of Science Educators
Five hundred teachers exploring sound and making music together.
Performance · Walk in Art, Hillcrest
A collaboration with Brody Hess at Hillcrest's Walk in Art. Each person in the audience had coffee stirrers, rubber bands, and metal pipes. We explored how objects vibrate and make music and sound, then played music together. It was magical.
Performance · Experiencing Minces premiere
At the premiere of Experiencing Minces, participants explored how objects vibrate and generate sound. The audience then became a gigantic human musical instrument, played by collaborator Amelia Huerta, with guitars by Victor Kulish.
