FACULTY SPEAKER EVENT

Smith College Professor and Chair of Dance Department

Chris Aiken presents "The Art of Physical Intelligence"

Wednesday, March 19 @7PM - Channing House, Palo Alto

Wednesday, March 19

7:00 p.m.

Channing House, 11th Floor

850 Webster, Palo Alto, CA

In this presentation, Professor Aiken will discuss how physical intelligence can be developed throughout life. An essential component of physical intelligence is the ability to solve physical problems using one’s creativity, ingenuity, and through perceptual awareness. Addressing physical problems can include learning how to be more mobile, developing new skills, and building new awareness. Drawing on a forty-year career in dance and the science of movement, Professor Aiken will share insights and invite audience members to work together to have a gentle, embodied experience. All levels of ability are welcome.
