Everett’s BRAIN STORM

ABOUT BRAIN STORM

Everett’s critically acclaimed Company takes audiences on a journey into the universe’s most complex structure – the human brain, in all its mystery and beauty. Using current neuroscience research and personal narrative as fuel, BRAIN STORM tells the tale of the brain and how it makes us human. BRAIN STORM seamlessly blends choreography, storytelling, factual information, humor, and video projection to create a multimedia dance/theater experience that informs, entertains, and provokes thought.

BRAIN STORM is informed by interviews with leading brain scientists, as well as a two-year residency at New Hampshire’s Crotched Mountain School, a facility for brain injury rehabilitation and education. The piece examines new developments in brain research, and the imminent neurological revolution – which includes the ability to map the spectrum of human emotions, beliefs, and tendencies.
