Quantum Poetics - an unorthodox search for art in science


As part of Dumfries & GallowayWild Science Family MAYHEM! Day, I've been asked to provide a means of finding the poetry in science.

So on offer is Quantum Poetics, in the form of two fun-seeking and exploratory short workshops aimed at guiding scientists to the poetry that lurks in pendulums, and poets to the thrills to be had from theoretical physics.  But no doctorates are required – just curiosity and a sense of adventure!

I will help participants find their way into making a short poem inspired by science, using appropriately ‘Mayhem! Day’ unorthodox and experimental techniques. Expect both laughter and some serious creativity. 

The workshops are at: 11am – 12 noon and 1.30pm – 2.30pm. Free entry (age 14 to 104) but please book (rebecca.crawford@glasgow.ac.uk ) as places on the workshops will be limited.

Dumfries & Galloway Wild Science Family MAYHEM! Day takes place in the Rutherford McCowan Building, The Crichton Campus, Bankend Road, Dumfries DG1 4ZL
