In this talk, Dr. Jonathan Kanter, Director of the Center for the Science of Social Connection, will review this science, including new research that emphasizes the important role mindfulness and acceptance practices can play in protest and antiracism efforts.

Online – Circa: S
October 16, 7:30 PM to October 23, 11:59 PM | Online
Brisbane-based Circa is at the forefront of a new wave of contemporary Australian circus, creating awe-inspiring performance from extreme physicality. Meany Center will stream a 65-minute excerpt of the production “S” on its digital stage. Lifschitz was inspired to create an abstract work of power and joy inspired by the curves, symmetries and plurality that are all attributes of this one letter. “S” focuses on the body and utilizes little or no set, characters, story line, or theme. The entire production is on an intensely human scale.
