Through its five-year partnership with UAlbany’s Physics Department for Girl’s Inc.’s Eureka Summer Program, ESDC examines science through dance workshops drawing from the company’s collaboration with UAlbany Physics professor Keith Earle to develop Choreophysics, an examination of the communion of the arts/dance and sciences/physics.
