Bodystorming is an immersive, physical approach to scientific inquiry, allowing participants to more fully understand the specifics of the problem at hand, quickly ideate their models and glean deeper insights that drive their research forward.
“The cell is a violent place, where molecules are moving at hundreds of kilometers per hour. Working with dancers allows us to recreate opposing aspects – dynamics and order – in a creative and safe manner.”
David Odde | University of Minnesota
Biomedical Engineering Professor and Co-Founder Moving Cell Project
“Bodystorming places the human body at the center of scientific research, which is almost a subversive, revolutionary act in today’s technology driven research landscape.”

“This sounds kind of ridiculous, but it does give you a psychological sense of what it would be like to be a molecule…While I was doing this, I was thinking what the molecules in the test tubes I've been working with all these years would feel … bouncing around in a cold, unfeeling solution, looking for a binding partner.”
Dyche Mullins
Cell biologist at the University of California, San Francisco
