As in the last three years, the University of Rome “La Sapienza” will be hosting artists, performers, directors, scholars and neuroscientists, hailing from various European and American centres of research for the International Conference Dialogues between theatre and neuroscience.

Topics will vary from Theatre anthropology to Ethnoscenology; from studies on mirror neurons to the neuroscience of human interaction; from theories on embodiment to studies on memory in dance, spanning issues related to epistemology, philosophy, pedagogy, theatre-therapy and neuroaesthetics. The programme will be further enriched by performances and work demonstrations. This will be the basis of three days of dialogue, debate and contaminations directed towards a multidisciplinary approach to the study of human interaction in the theatre and the complexity of its processes.

In its fourth year, the project documents its past editions thanks to four publications: Dialoghi tra teatro e neuroscienze (Edizioni Alegre, 2009), Diálogos entre teatro y neurociencia, (Artezblai, 2010), Nuovi dialoghi tra teatro e neuroscienze (Editoria & Spettacolo, 2011) e Prospettive su teatro e neuroscienze. Dialoghi e sperimentazioni, (Bulzoni, 2012).
