The meeting will host dancer and choreographer Shachar Binyamini, research biologist Prof. Eitan Gross and choreographer Rachel Ardos.

Shahar Binyamini, a dancer and choreographer, and Ethan Gross, a research biologist, will talk about how their joint work has changed their professional perspectives. They will share with the audience their experience in a new course they created about seven years ago at the Weizmann Institute in which students / scientists from all fields and professional dancers participate. In this course - called "Know" - the participants together explore questions from the fields of science through movement in an attempt to gain new insights in the fields of science and movement. As a continuation of the swing, last year Shahar Binyamini participated in the "Guest Artist" program at the Weizmann Institute and for a year created a new dance piece in collaboration with scientists.

Chirographer Rachel Ardos will talk about her dance-based dance performance for the interpersonal closeness of psychologist A. Aaron who developed the study " The Experimental Generation of Interpersonal Closeness" In his research, Arun combined 36 definite questions designed for dialogue between two strangers, so that they gradually become more and more personal. Ardos will discuss the process of working with the dancers and the encounter with the audience.
