Bodymind lab

Under the Direction of Amy Yopp Sullivan

The Body/Mind Performance Laboratory at Stony Brook University provides a creative laboratory for art making, educational initiatives and research activity. Dedicated to explorations of body/mind performance, physical intelligence, movement systems, dance theatre, and body awareness, the space is home to numerous interdisciplinary efforts. This interdisciplinary initiative includes a working group of professional scientists, cognitive psychologists, leaders in industry and business, inventors in technology, creators in the arts, dedicated educators and seasoned medical professionals.

By gathering leaders in the fields of education, performance, technology, filmmaking, movement, health science, psychology and the arts, we hope to find unoccupied territories for interdisciplinary thinking that inspire people to action. By building partnerships that offer an expansive view of creativity and collaboration, we plan to uncover and develop new dynamic approaches for productivity built from creativity and collaboration. The goal is educational reform and industry enhancement.
