Move Speak Spin!

Ack, it's been more than a week since I've posted.  I will blame this on the fact that I lost my science notebook.  Yes, folks, you can cry a little - my notebook has been lost to the annals of the New York City streets.  It had all my notes in it about the World Science Festival, so I cried a little too.  And then procrastinated writing about the other lectures I saw, because I wanted my notes!

While I get over that, I will regale you with a few really cool exhibits from the Science Fair on the 14th.  One was Move Speak Spin, and you can see a little clip of their work on YouTube - Move Speak Spin.  They're a dance group that uses math to tell stories and make art.  This clip is a tiny section in which they danced with triangles.  Their World Science Festival blurb reads, "From tap dance to the permutations of a single sheet of paper, from flying machines to the ancient Chinese puzzle tangrams, this dance company displays the magic and mystery that is both dance and mathematics."

It's really fun!
