Kabarett: a term first coined in the 19th Century, a place where artists, poets, composers, and dancers could come together, under the auspices of anonymity, to explore music, drama, sex, and art.
The Crossmodalist Cabaret: invoking the spirit of Cabaret - bringing together a mix of cross-disciplinary artists and scientists from around the world for one weekend only, for a combination of performance, revelry, and hedonistic surprise.
Expect provocation. Expect inspiration. Expect the unexpected.

WHAT IS CROSSMODALISM?
Crossmodalism is a movement born from the synthesis of art, science, and entrepreneurship. It is based in learning and collaboration across non-traditionally linked disciplines, ideas, and communities. Through this foundation, Crossmodalism fosters an appreciation of the full human experience in connection to its sensorial and natural environment.
