Balthazar Daninos, Mickaël Chouquet and Léo Laroche from the Ateliers du Spectacle Company are in residency at the Atelier Arts Sciences in 2013. After a trial period in 2012, the company organises three Bivouacs in 2013. They take place in three different research centres in the Grenoble area. In each of these units, they engage in exploring how ideas are born. They have set up a research protocol, which they call CCMDLT : Comment ça marche dans la tête ? (What goes on inside the brain ?) This theatre group intends to draw on exploring the researchers’ brain : deep dive into imagination !
Three mathematical Bivouacs will be set up in 2012/2013 at the Grenoble Institute of Neuroscience in La Tronche, at the GIPSA-Lab in Saint Martin d’Hères and at CEA Grenoble.
