This film is about Year 1 of 5 year a project on restorying math
with a whole intergenerational community, through the arts. Through
shared explorations of intriguing mathematical patterning, we hope
that people will have start to have better stories and friendlier
relationships with math. Mathematical explorations with labyrinths
included: experimentation with variants and invariants in classical
labyrinth "seeds"
;
exploring unicursal, bicursal and Roman labyrinth designs
; and understanding
the geometry of the Gardner's Double Appleton labyrinth dance, where
two people can walk arm-in-arm through the labyrinth, even though
one is entering the labyrinth and the other is leaving it
. Many thanks to all
the community members on Hornby Island, BC, Canada who participated
in and co-led the workshop!
