In 2016 we celebrated an award from Arts Council England following a successful grant application to support a new period of research and development. Psychoacoustic is a collaborative project combining neuroscience, dance and music which tests and explores the emotional reactions to movement and sound in the body. With thanks to support using funding from the National Lottery through Arts Council England, the project went through a secondary period of R&D in October 2016 in Surrey. You can read up a little more information about the team and project below as well as download our information pack and view clips from the early birth of the project last year. Psychoacoustic has since been programmed at venues in the South East and London with more scheduled performances in 2018 / 2019.
