Native Creatives: Roger Kneebone - In Conversation
Dr Roger Kneebone will be in conversation with Festival Bridge’s Education Programme Manager Jen Langeskov, about his multidisciplinary research around the embodied knowledge that underpins science, medicine and the visual and performing arts. We will discover more about his book, Expert: Understanding the Path to Mastery (Penguin), in which he covers common themes shared between his experiences as a medical student, surgeon, GP, educator, academic, harpsichord player and sometime juggler with those working creatively in design studios, workshops and performance spaces.
