The Poison Project
13. Description of the core message of your event and key topics to be covered (c.100 words): 
How are toxins in our environment changing the behaviour of our bees? In this collaborative workshop led by a scientist, a choreographer and a composer, we’ll use data collected from current research taking place in Newcastle University’s Bee Lab to creatively interpret (with your participation!) behaviour recorded through the experiments. The workshop will end in a short improvised performance using projections and an experimental music piece developed from field recordings of bees.
