To illuminate the profound interdependencies between the sciences and the arts, CaltechLive will offer a program of dance, music, and theater complementing the institution’s PST ART exhibition, Crossing Over: Art and Science at Caltech, 1920–2020. The program will showcase artists whose work engages with both the history of science and cutting-edge scientific research. Featured programming will include LA-based Invertigo Dance Theater, directed by Laura Karlin as well as Taiwan-based dancer/choreographer Huang Yi and his company, which includes an industrial robot, Kuka. Local choral ensemble Tonality, directed by founder Alexander Blake will perform a program addressing climate change. An original play by Dan Duling and directed by Michael Arabian will bring to life the relationships between Nikola Tesla and other prominent 20th-century inventors. Post-show talks will feature artists and scientists from the Caltech community and beyond discussing their creative processes. In a stand-alone panel, scientists and artists will share how they have benefitted from embracing “failure” as part of their process.
