Science Moves

Science Moves!

Simple machines come to life in this interactive dance performance by Attack Theatre. This engaging assembly program combines artistic, athletic, and expressive movement to embody STEAM concepts through the power of creative play. With bold physicality and cheerful camaraderie the dancers embark on a “live action book report,” bringing the fun-filled world of dance into a science classroom.

Science Moves blends story-telling with the principles of science to enhance classroom learning through the spirit of invention. This program includes a robust curriculum guide that teachers can use in the classroom before and after the performance.

Dance: bodies in motion, controlled by force. It makes art of science. It makes Science Move!
