The Laborastory

Science and arts, united by the power of the story.

Overview

People are often made to choose between science and the arts. As early as high school, we have an idea of whether we are a numbers or words person — the kind who will tackle VCE Literature with a smile or a frown. But the events that combine these two worlds are few and far between. Why can't we have both?

Laborastory is one of these such events. Inviting five real-world scientists to the stage on the first Tuesday of every month, this local performance night breaks down the barriers between numbers and words with the power of storytelling. Far from a dry university lecture on ... photosynthesis (I'm obviously a words person who dropped science subjects at the end of Year 10), each performer at Laborastory lets you into their world and finds the funny in their fields of interest. Yes, there's bound to be some nerdy in-jokes but what safer space is there than a big room of science geeks?
