Timely Transformations: Bodies in Motion. Weds 19 March, 6.30-8pm

Grab a glass of wine and engage in an evening of unconventional conversation where we will celebrate the body, both sculpted and flesh-and-blood.

What is the place of our body when we enter a museum? How can we find space amongst a roll-call of sculpted perfection for our own embodiment, however messy and real? Choreographer Sivan Rubenstein’s dance performance will foreground the mother’s growing body in transformation, while Caroline Vout and Sarah Fine bring academic and philosophical discourse back to the body.

This event is part of Cambridge Festival.

 

 

Please note the change in date from the original announcement. This event will no longer take place on 20 March, and will take place on Weds 19 March.
