Thought Experiments on the Question of Being Human: The Science of Changing Your Mind
Our special theme this year is The Science of Changing Your Mind and, with the help of the University of Washington Psychology Department, we have invited four scientists and teamed each scientist with a local Seattle playwright. Their collaborations have lead to the creation of four intriguing short plays, each exploring the science underlying : How we make decisions, how we change our minds - or dont. And what all that might have to do with how to be human - together.
The Plays:
"Pay Attention" by Pamela Hobart Carter
with Geoffrey Boynton. Ph.D.
Directed by Rachel Rene
"Words for Snow" by K. Brian Neel
with Chantel Prat, Ph.D.
Directed by Jon Lutyens
"The Unlikely Valley" by Scotto Moore
with David Gire, Ph.D.
Jane Ryan
"Hannagan Squee, Department P" by Elizabeth Heffron
with Stacia Dreyer, Ph.D.
Directed by Kathryn Stewart
Each evening includes staged readings of the plays, followed by a scientist-led conversation, providing an opportunity for audience members to grapple, in an immediate, visceral way, with the questions and issues raised by the plays.
