Theater Arts professor Ted Warburton has been working on the kinetic connections between intelligence and dance for the past decade.  Exploring "the major intellecual and artistic decisions behind dance," he seeks paths to outwit the tired cliché that "dancers don't think, they simply behave."  At the core of Warburton's interest lies what has been called "embodied cognition."  Warburton will present some of the lively episodes in his research passion in the 2013 Outstanding Faculty Research Lecture on May 16.
