An artist, an acrobat and a physicist
walk into a bar...
...and that's not a joke.
It's our fourth No Book Book Club
at the Devereux Pub!
On Tuesday, May 21st we bring you a unique performance and discussion that showcases the current collaboration between artist Mark Morreau, acrobat Natalie Reckert and physicist Anne Weber.
Fun, thought-provoking and informative, this presentation combines live acrobatics with interactive videography and then plays with key concepts of the light-matter interaction, showing quantum physics as something you can see, touch and experience.
Anne's research explores unresolved questions at the intersection of quantum mechanics, classical trajectory methods and catastrophe theory while Natalie and Mark‘s work is all about the undefinable nature of what is observable and how it's represented in the moment of performance.
Together in collaboration the three create a lively environment where these two worlds meet, bringing theory to life and raising questions about our world and how we move within it.
Come along and join us, it's going to be a fantastic, mind-blowing evening!
Natalie Reckert is a circus maker integrating robotic movement, spoken word and handbalancing to create full length shows since 2007. She studied at the National Centre for Circus Arts in London, Visions in Motion Dance school in Germany and holds a BA in social sciences from Humboldt University Berlin.

Anne Weber completed an undergraduate degree in BA Psychology before turning to physics and graduating with a master‘s degree from the University of Jena, Germany. Anne is currently a PhD candidate at King's College London where she explores the applicability of the quantum orbit approach near the high-harmonic cutoff. Her thesis topic is: Caustics and catastrophes in strong-field and attosecond processes.

Digital Artist Mark Morreau's circus career spanned three decades and now informs his current work. While collaborating closely with Natalie, he was also recently associate Video Designer for Complicité’s “Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead”. Mark holds an MA in Digital Theatre from the University of the Arts London.

Tickbird&Rhino's No Book Book Club is what you get when you hold a book club but skip the book. Each time out we'll discover something new - it might be a talk, a performance, some art, a film or something found on-line. But whatever it is, it'll be interesting and accessible on the night. Then, like a book club, we'll lightly curate the conversation around it and get everyone talking.
