Out of Mind is a hybrid lecture-performance that explores the neuroscience of depression. Dr. Allison C. Waters, a neuroscientist at Mount Sinai Icahn School of Medicine, Center for Advanced Circuit Therapeutics in New York City conducts an experiment using the brain waves and skills of theatre artist Tannis Kowalchuk, Farm Arts Collective. Out of Mind begins in a classic lecture format that soon transforms into a multi-layered performance experience with poetry, song, and theatrical text.
