The films were co-created with Batley Girls' High School students based on their engineering learning – connecting anatomy, physics of motion and limits of the body and expression in mechanical and organic movement. From visuals to choreography, these themes were woven into the film 👯

The project exemplified how co-creation between science and the arts helped people from different disciplines to expand their ways of thinking 🥼🎭 It also showcased how innovative collaboration can engage and inspire wide and diverse audiences 👩‍🏫

At the premiere event there was also a panel discussion about the project's process and inspiration, a networking reception for guests and an exhibition showcasing photography and creative outputs from the project. Read more about the Mechanics of Life👇 eps.leeds.ac.uk/faculty-engine…

Together with the University of Leeds and the Royal Academy of Engineering we’ve explored what truly means to move. With a team of fantastic engineers led by Briony Thomas and choreography by Kenneth Tindall, we’ve brought together two worlds: dance and technology. youtu.be/9LftZl6wiEQ

We’re at #Microbio24 with Kacper, Morgan Herod Lab and Briony Thomas today talking about our 🦠educational modelling.

‘Mechanics of Life’ brings together engineers from the University of Leeds and artists from Northern Ballet to explore the mechanics of movement through dance. We present to you ‘Ingenium, Mechanics of Life’. vimeo.com/901190432

This is an incredible example of how working across disciplines can transform the way we communicate research! Great job Creative Learning Lab 👏

Our 'Mechanics of Life' journey began in July with communication workshops led by Nifty Fox Creative and Duncan Yellowlees. Check out the live scribing from these engaging sessions! From task-master challenges to captivating performances...

Co-production workshop 1 Our team of Engineers, artists, and educators came together for the first time to co-produce a series of learning activities for year 8 students at Batley Girls' High School . We explored new interdisciplinary concepts and developed new learning activities!

The Year 8 students from Batley Girls' High School had an amazing day at the University of Leeds! They explored the campus, tackled engineering challenges, and learned about physics through trampolining! #STEAM #ScienceEducation #Engineering #UniLeeds #CreativeLearning #STEM #creativity 👩‍🔬🤸‍♀️

Coproduction Day 2! Our team of engineers, artists, and educators united to design the Experience Day.🦿👩‍🏫🩰 We opened our spaces, shared our worlds, and brought engineering and the science of dance to life! #Engineering #Ballet #CollaborativeDesign #MechanicsofLife #Coproduction

Have you ever seen a dance-off between a robot dog and ballet dancers? 🩰🦿🐶 Our 'experience day' at Northern Ballet was a culmination of collaborative creativity, blending arts, engineering, and education to inspire cross-disciplinary thinking! #collaboration Batley Girls' High School

‘Ingenium | Mechanics of Life’ was inspired by our experience day. Take a peek at the behind-the-scenes filming at University of Leeds with Northern Ballet ! 🩰 Watch it here: vimeo.com/901189613/b8b9…… #Collaboration #Ballet #Engineering #MechanicsOfLife #CoProduction

The project dissemination was nothing short of spectacular. To showcase all the hard work from the project we put on a film premiere and an exhibition. It featured decorated mannequins, joint replacements and much more. 🩰🦿🤸‍♀️🎞️

Wow! Our Engineering at Leeds technical team from mech eng have co-developed with Briony Thomas and High Esteem Carnival Costume designs this awesome costume for Leeds West Indian Carnival. Not sure my pictures do it justice, it is awesome!

This brilliant and talented team of technical staff Engineering at Leeds have been working with Hughbon and Seph at High Esteem Carnival Designs to co-design a costume for Khadijah Ibrahiim to wear in the Leeds West Indian Carnival parade this August. What a joy to work with this amazing team.

We’ve been getting ready for the road with Khadijah Ibrahiim in the Engineering at Leeds workshops ahead of Leeds West Indian Carnival. Can’t wait for Monday! #CarnivalHappy

Leeds West Indian Carnival yesterday with Khadijah in our costume named ‘Ubuntu’ leading the parade. The ancient African word encapsulates the bonds, sharing and commitment at the heart of this collaboration. “I am because we are.” @ResCultureLeeds Engineering at Leeds bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
