The Brain Ensemble

The Brain Ensemble

Dr. Jane Bently, Mary Knysh and Lucas Coffey have created a new five-session program that teaches students about the brain using the drum circle as a metaphor. This multidisciplinary residency combines science, health and wellness & music to deliver a hands-on approach to learning about the brain! Sessions include:

  1. The mind: Changing the Unconscious
  2. Upstairs & Downstairs: The Creative Centre
  3. Movement: Activating the Brain
  4. Relationships: Collabobrain 
  5. Choices: Brain Health

The brain, like a drum circle, is an ensemble made of many players with different roles. When these players work well together we can create harmony in ourselves and fulfilling music together. %90-%95 of our thoughts come from our unconscious mind and in order to have these thoughts serve us and our music we use attention and repetition
