The social impact of watching a dance performance
Does a performance influence the behaviour of individual viewers, the relationships between them, and the creation of a ‘community’? A University research team (Social Psychology and Artificial Intelligence) studied this, together with choreographer collective Random Collision.

Experiment B is part of a three-year research project funded by the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO).
