Ted Talks: Dance v. PowerPoint

Science is about movement – collisions, gravity, force, mass, acceleration. Essentially, science can be demonstrated through use of the human body.

Science writer, John Bohannon shares his “modest proposal” to ease the financial burden by using dancers instead of PowerPoint.

So often we turn to PowerPoint and presentations that don’t capture an audiences attention or make our content understandable. Bohannon talks science and politics as dancers explain what he is saying through movement in his choreographed talk from TEDxBrussels, with dancers from Black Label Movement.

Political figures and education systems always want to cut the arts first, but Bohannon makes the case that supporting the arts, in turn supports our economy.
