This international collection brings scientists, scholars, and artist-researchers together to explore the cognition of memory through the performing arts and examine artistic strategies that target cognitive processes of memory.

Dr. Pil Hansen is an Assistant Professor and Graduate Program Director at the School of Creative and Performing Arts, University of Calgary, Canada; a founding member of Vertical City Performance; and a dramaturg.
