Turing Tests, Apples, and Queens: Collective Storytelling Through Fairy Tales and Artificial Intelligence blends fact and mythological fiction to explore the life and work of English mathematician Alan Turing through dance. Performed by LA-based Invertigo Dance Theatre, the program uses movement, music, and words to illuminate facets of Turing's experiences as a WWII codebreaker, the father of computer science, and a gay man who faced discrimination and criminalization. An interactive component of the performance will give audience members the opportunity to explore humankind's timeless, tangled, and nuanced relationship with technology as raised by Turing's work in artificial intelligence. Choreographer and Invertigo Dance Theatre founder Laura Karlin has conceived this special program just for Caltech. Written and choreographed by Laura Karlin.
