The London arts organisation Siobhan Davies Dance worked with neuroscientists to produce this work, and took its cue from an extensive catalogue of cross-cultural gestures curated by art historian Aby Warburg. On the first day of the 11-day installation, Saturday Supplement (Sat 6 May, 11am-4pm) will bring together artists and scientists in a day of free workshops, tours and talks – including a discussion with the production’s visual artist Jeremy Millar.
