Atom>Light>Dance: An atomic silent disco

Discover how atoms absorb and emit light to colour our world. Don a pair of headphones and join the dance floor as we create the disco of the atomic spectra, finding the parallels between light and sound waves.

Atom>Light>Dance has been created by artist Geraldine Cox, physicists from Imperial College London’s Centre for Cold Matter, and dance artist and teacher Emma Bellerby.

This event is suitable for ages 5+.
