Take two top academics, some dangerous ideas, add one comedian and it’s the force of nature that is the Cabaret of Dangerous Ideas (CODI). Hosted by comedian Susan Morrison, and now in its eleventh year, CODI is ninety minutes of rapid-fire research from some of the finest minds in the country.
Dr Kasey McCall-Smith (The University of Edinburgh) will explore the fine, and not so fine, lines between isolation, torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment when we send a child to ‘their’ room. Erin Sanchez (The University of Edinburgh) wants to support dancers’ mental health and success, challenging the frankly tragic and comedic aspects of this traditional artform.
