For the second time our productions have caught the eye of Ted Talk organisers (the first was 2019 with our anti-sex trafficking show at the London School of Speech and Drama). This time our latest show, Soothe (featured in the Cambridge Festival 2024, and Cambridge Junction for Refugee Week in support of Baca Charity) landed us the opportunity to present to the Ted audiences once again; this time at Tedx Kings Parade St. Our very own Holly Wilmot delivered a fantastic talk on the chemistry of emotions, how they move us and why dance is so effective in portraying the Three Systems model.
You can catch Holly’s talk here to get your introduction to the concepts and teasers for Soothe. #SootheShow
We feel pretty psyched that we’re 2 for 2 on our feature length dance performances being “ideas worth sharing!”

Congratulations to the whole team for a fantastic event!
After a fantastic turnout to both shows, Infusion is pleased to announce that due to funding from the Arts Council England and the Royal Society of Chemistry you can catch the show online for the next 30 days!
Check out our YouTube channel here.
We especially loved the audience comments:
“Beautiful dancing and wonderful to have an insight into science through art.”
“The concept and the show were fantastic, a really immersive experience into mental health and emotional regulation.”
“World-class performance. There was great storytelling in the dance sequences, telling the story of how dopamine, adrenaline and oxytocin can affect us positively, why we need them, but also what happens when things go wrong. Attention was paid to the lighting, to the costumes, and the dance troupe and director clearly did their research. Absolutely wonderful experience.”
