O’Brien will examine a selection of scenes, focusing on pictorial narratives and gestures meant to evoke a wide range of emotions. Srinivasan will demonstrate how the various expressions of love convey the mood of each scene. She will also explain the neuroscience behind an audience’s emotional reaction to the dance moves.
