Movement Under the Microscope Performance Video
Audience: Teens and Adults
Grades: 9-12+
Duration: 23 minutes

It was great to see everyone on January 20th at the “Movement under the Microscope” Family Day! Missed it? Don’t worry! You can watch the November 2022 “Movement under the Microscope” performance on our YouTube Channel, UMMNH. This performance brings together students from the Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology with students from the School of Music, Theatre & Dance to celebrate the “building blocks of life” through performance art.

“Movement under the Microscope” was a collaboration between the University of Michigan Museum of Natural History, Morgan DeSantis (professor of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology), Tzveta Kassabova (professor of Theater and Drama), and their students. On November 20, 2022, fifty undergraduates performed Movement under the Microscope live for 250 museum visitors.

This work was funded in part by the National Science Foundation.
