Dance show exploring the theories of quantum physics

A high-energy tongue-in-cheek dance show which took its packed audiences into the mind-bending world of quantum physics. Created by choreographer Nikky Smedley with advice from scientists of Imperial College's Theoretical Physics Group, Talking of the Sex of Angels was a highlight of the Spring Loaded Season at The Place Theatre, London.

An earlier work-in-progress was seen at the Lilian Baylis Theatre as part of the Mosaics Season in 1994.
