Participating in Experience: Ethics and Essential Questions

When we interrupt and peel away most all norms and conventions, what is left of us? Join us for a cross-disciplinary panel exploring the essential dynamics of human interaction, in light of the experience of PARLIAMENT at Duke, a four-day performance piece (on view March 7-10 within a Nasher Museum gallery) created by Michael Kliën, associate professor of the practice of dance in Duke’s Dance Program. Duke faculty will offer insights and impressions from neuroscientific, cultural, and philosophical perspectives. This free program takes place in the Lecture Hall. Co-sponsored by the Kenan Institute for Ethics at Duke.
