Smith College Professor and Chair of Dance Department Chris Aiken presents: "The Art of Physical Intelligence”

In this presentation, Professor Aiken will discuss how physical intelligence can be developed throughout life. An essential component of physical intelligence is the ability to solve physical problems using one’s creativity, ingenuity, and through perceptual awareness. Addressing physical problems can include learning how to be more mobile, developing new skills, and building new awareness. Drawing on a forty-year career in dance and the science of movement, Professor Aiken will share insights and invite audience members to work together to have a gentle, embodied experience. All levels of ability are welcome.
