Science & The Arts (Green Man)

Adam Walton discusses what happens when science and the Arts join forces, as he hearsÌýabout "Einstein's Garden", one of the performance spaces at this year's Green Man festival in Glanusk Park. Ellen Dowell, the curator of "Einstein's Garden" explains the idea of the space, and how it showcasesÌýscience, nature and environment, and includes music, comedy, film, theatre, installations, live animals, workshops, science busking and a whole lot more. We hear from Rebecca Collins about "Listening To Water/Gwrando Ar Y Dwr" a show which engages the audience in a journey through the water soruces on the site. Christine Watkins from Honeysuckle Direction tells us about her interest in both scienceÌýand the arts, and the production "After Hours At The Polestar Club" with music from Sianed Jones. Director Ioan Hefin, of Theatr Na Nog,Ìýtells the story of Victorian Welsh scientist Alfred Russel Wallace and the show "The Amazing Adventures Of Wallace & Bates".Ìý There's a performance of "Delirium" by Victoria Hume at Einstein's Garden. It featuresÌýsongs inspired by patients' hallucinations in intensive care, andÌýwe''ll hear an extract on the programme. Also, Adam talks to Alison Neighbour from theatre company BreadÌý& Goose who explains the story behind "The Incurable Imagination Of Anthony Jones", in which the audience get to play neurons.
