A family dance performance inspired by the laws o physics. A piece named after the well-known Newton law of universal gravitation:

Fg = G x (m1 x m2)
r2

Explanatory
Fg = a force functioning between two material entities
m1 = the weight of the first entity
m2 = the weight of the second entity
r = the distance between entities
G = gravitational constant, approx. G = 6.67 × 10-11m2 kg-2

Don’t be scared! Phisics is fascinating, especially when transformed into a piece of art – dance art.

“I recently opened my old physics exercise book and read in it: “An induction coil is an induction coil and there is nothing that can be done about it. Even the radio would not work if it weren’t for induction coils.” I do not remember anything from the subject, unfortunately, only the fact that I am fascinated by terminology that can describe every moment around us and make it into a law. To many, physics remains a subject that is abstract and difficult to grasp. Equally so, to many viewers dance may difficult to grasp and very abstract too. I am asking then: might dance be defined as a simple movement here and there in the gravitational field? The performance is intended for all age groups without an exception.”
