How does your body feel rhythm? How do you know when you have found your groove? Why is an average pop song 120bpm?

BIORHYTHM LIVE, part of Science Gallery's acclaimed summer 2010 exhibition, brings a dramatic live performance and audience focus for BIORHYTHM'S exploration of music and the body.

Rhythm, omnipresent in all our lives, a central component of our species' cultural evolution, marking time in our external world and regulating our internal vital functions.  BIORHYTHM: LIVE offers three perspectives; the unique insight and rhythmic universe of the extraordinary percussionist Evelyn Glennie, the time manipulations of bassist Ronan Guilfoyle, and a revealing collaboration between drummer of the moment R.SA.G. and scientists from the Clem Burke Drumming Project who have been studying the physiology of the rock'n'roll drummer.

With Dame Evelyn Glennie, Ronan Guilfoyle Trio, R.S.A.G. Dr Marcus Smith and Dr Steve Draper  (Clem Burke Drumming Project), hosted by Gerry Godley.
