Cellular Dynamics – a collaboration between the School of Biosciences and the Music Department – will feature in the Norwich Science Festival, Monday 22 October, at 19.00 in the Norwich Octagon.

Cellular Dynamics merges cutting-edge biological research with live musical performance. It explores fundamental biological processes and concepts – such as cell growth and division, neural development, and synthetic biology – through projection of images and video derived from research undertaken at Kent. Curated and presented by Professor Dan Lloyd from the School of Biosciences, the performance features musical repertoire for piano duo – including Ravel, Debussy, Glass and others – selected and performed in collaboration with Daniel Harding, Deputy Director of Music, and Matthew King (Professor of Composition at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama).

Cellular Dynamics has previously featured in the Cheltenham Science Festival, and has been selected for the British Council SPARK Festival in Hong Kong (January 2019). Previous incarnations have included performances in the Canterbury Festival, and with chorus and string orchestra in the Colyer-Fergusson Hall.
