The Provocateurs: Performing Possibility / 200 Monks, 1 Dead Frog
Professor Zack Moir (Edinburgh Napier University) asks whether universities deliver the bright futures they promise. Using arts education as an example, he explores how students are encouraged to imagine change, yet often trained to fit broken systems. How might higher education nurture justice, collaboration, and better futures instead?
In 1746, a priest electrocuted 200 monks to measure the speed of electricity. According to the monks the answer was "AAAAAAH!" Physicist Dr Nick Werren (Heriot-Watt University) traces electricity's shocking history through sordid science, countless dead frogs, and the Corpse Matinée.
14+ must be accompanied by an adult.
