Since 2009, contemporary dance and performance platform WhyNot organizes events and creates works thar open up the dance scene and present these art forms in alternative ways. Interdisciplinary, outside of the black box, and always with movement as a starting point.

WhyNot

The Body &-series exists of three evenings full of science, art and dance. The Body & Atoms is the first episode in Waag Future lab.

Waag Futurelab

The first evening, The Body &amp; Atoms is taking place in the Anatomical Theater of Waag and begins at the beginning: 
We will travel back into the early universe, and explore the nature of matter. How and when did matter emerge after the big bang? What are the smallest particles like? What makes a body a body? What is matter, actually? When zooming in into the quantum scale, can we still phantom the odd behaviors of the sub-atomic particles that make up our own spinning and dancing bodies? Join us for an exciting night, with different angles of bodies of matter, provided by our guests:

Particle physicist Osama Karkout will enlighten us on quantum entanglements, his favorite quark flavors, and the quest for interacting Higgs bosons with the CERN Large Hadron Collider. 
Filmmaker Ruben van Leer was the first one to be allowed to film within CERN. During the evening, fragments of his Sci-Fi Opera film Symmetry will allow us to travel inside the particle Collider, following a physicist in search of the smallest primordial particle, to find love without end..

Dancer Yoko Haverman is a contemporary dancer, choreographer, and photographer with a background in martial arts, physical theater, floor work, and partnering. During the years, she has been working as a freelancer (inter)nationally with renowned choreographers, production houses, filmmakers, and musicians. For instance, De Dansers, Dansateliers, iET &amp; Davide Bellotta, and Zuhause Productions.

Artist and Earth Scientist Esmee Geerken will moderate the evening, trying to connect the dots between all perspectives on the nature of particles of matter, revolving bodies.
