| Description | The dance work Algoritmi was born from a curiosity towards mathematical thinking, the abstract language that seeks to explain nature. In the words of Galileo Galilei, "the book of nature is written in the language of mathematics". Some of us have the skills to easily interpret mathematical signs and symbols; to make mind-boggling inventions; to develop new kinds of nuclear reactors. We took a different path towards mathematics. What happens when we create a musical or choreographic counterpart to numbers – a sound or movement that corresponds to a given number? How much mathematics can we find in the forms and rhythms of dance or music? How does it feel to dance an equation, or pi? |
