About this Event
Dark matter makes up most of the universe. It is invisible, but we see its effects via forces shaping everything around us. Experience science, music, dance and discovery, in one room, at the same time.
In this extraordinary 75-minute event, Oxford Improvisers fill the room with a live cosmic soundscape while Dr Kimberly Palladino, one of the world's leading dark matter hunters, guides us through the science at the frontier of particle physics. Dancers, musicians and you will be invited to respond in movement, tracing the invisible forces that hold galaxies together.
No experience necessary to join the optional guided movement element, and feel the physics for yourself. Suitable for all ages.
Event format: PERFORMANCE

Event duration: 1 hour 15

Ticketing: Pay What You Decide (PWYD)
To make a PWYD booking, book 1 PWYD ticket for the group, then add extra FREE tickets for the rest of your party. This means only one payment is needed for the whole group — you choose what to pay within the PWYD booking. This process is needed because Eventbrite treats a single PWYD ticket as the donation for the whole group — the PWYD ticket covers the donation (one ticket), and FREE tickets cover the rest of your party.
Parking: on-site parking available
