Come and celebrate the launch of our new Science Ceilidh videos & resources as part of the nationwide Explorathon - Researchers' Night Scotland

Over the last year, we had worked with scientists from the University of Edinburgh School of Chemistry to develop dances based on International Year of Light. We have now finished the videos and launching them to the world the only way we know how...with a ceilidh!

Featuring screenings & dances of:
The PROTEUS Jig - Samuel Jeremy Stanfield
Strip the Leaf - Jessica Walker
The Fluorescent Fling - Rachel Fisher
Shepherd's Delight (Red Sky at Night) - Sara Schmidt

This event is part of Explorathon Edinburgh: Curiosity Night event which starts from 17.00, with the screening & a short ceilidh starting from 20.00.

18+, no tickets or reservation necessary, but see you there!

These dances & videos were funded by the Royal Society of Chemistry, supported by University of Edinburgh School of Chemistry Alumni, with videographers Paul Anthony Sayer & Robin Mair.

Discover what alcohol and other drugs do to our brains, and why some people are more susceptible to their effects than others. Venture round the sense tent and have a whiff of some pathology perfumery, try out the tactile illusions, ultrasound your own tongue and experience audio-visual synaesthesia among other things. Or if you’re feeling more physical than psychological why not kick off your heels and join us in the basement for a Science Ceilidh

Illuminating Science Ceilidh

Feeling in the dark about the science behind light? Join the award-winning Science Ceilidh Band and a team of scientists for an evening of Scottish ceilidh dances with a twist on the theme of light. Written as part of International Year of Light, we’ll be explaining photons in the Dashing White Light Wave, exploring how glowsticks work in the Fluorescent Fling and finding the hidden chemistry in your TV in the Orcadian Strip-the-Optic-Cable! No experience necessary and the whole family is welcome: steps and science will be explained, and experiments, fluorescent face-paints and glowsticks provided, just be ready to shine on that dance floor!

Part of Dunbar Science Festival

Come along for a ceilidh for the whole family with a wee science twist! Along with all your favourite dances, from the Gay Gordons to the Flying Scotsman, we’ll be thinking about how we can improve the Dunbar Community. Pupils from Dunbar Primary School will share a new dance developed to explain the Circular Economy and how it’s introduction to product design in Scotland can help reduce how much we throw away…You won’t just be recycling dance moves on the ceilidh floor!

This dance was developed with pupils and the school, The Zero Waste Town Project, the Science Ceilidh Band and Dunbar Science Festival.

Working with Zero Waste Scotland to visit Dunbar Primary and engage about reducing the amount of waste in our lives through music and dance!
