Marinha Grande brought joy to our hearts (and brains)!

Over the last three weeks, we took our Theatre and Science Workshops to Marinha Grande and tried to get to grips with something hard to see: the brain. We didn’t do it with microscopes, nor with ready-made answers, but with our bodies and our imaginations. We experienced the world through our senses and discovered that memory works best when we’re paying attention. Finally, we repeated and practised until we were good at something, and we confirmed that emotions are the invisible thread that makes any experience unforgettable. We literally ‘got around the brain’, even though some of them were almost ‘short-circuiting’. And what fun it was!
