Center for Chemical Evolution and International Year of Chemistry Event

As part of the education & outreach component of the Center for Chemical Evolution, we have paired with Out of Hand Theater to create a production to celebrate the International Year of Chemistry, Group Intelligence: a mass mp3 experience. The performance is a cross between theater and a flash mob, where participants will download an mp3 track prior to the event. When they arrive, everyone will hit play at the same time and follow the directives and narrative on the track. As the narrative moves along, comparisons will be drawn between the actions of the participants and the way molecules move and self assemble.

We are aiming to get 300 people to each of the six performances, and need your help to do that. If possible, we'd love for you to somehow highlight the production to your class: showing the video in the link below, forwarding them information, and maybe even offering an incentive of extra credit?

You can watch the promotional video and register for the event here:
