Using the arts to communicate math

Evans Harrell and Jamey Smith

Mathematics in Motion, Inc., is a registered Georgia nonprofit that has partnered with local artists to innovate in ways to communicate math to a wider audience. We create events using circus arts, music, dance, theater, and magic to convey the essence of mathematics and its importance in the world. Shows and presentations have ranged from the rather large Mathapalooza! at the Atlanta Science Festival, to performances at schools and campuses, to pop-up events at community festivals. In the past year we succeeded in attracting audiences online. We will show performance videos, describe the experiments we have done, lessons learned, ways to create and fund STEAM partnerships, and explore future directions.
