Speaking & Workshops

Adam’s talks and workshops explore how movement reveals the physics of gravity, perception, and life beyond Earth.

Talk Topics

  • The Body in Altered Gravity

  • Human Perception Beyond Earth

  • Simulating Space on Earth

  • Rotating Worlds

Keynotes • Conferences • Research Talks • Media

Drawn from research, performance, and hands-on experimentation. Additional talks and workshops can be tailored to specific audiences and programs.

Programs for universities, research groups, and advanced secondary students

“Gravity doesn’t just shape how we move—it creates a gravitational bias in how we think and understand the world.”

These projects form the foundation of Adam’s talks and workshops.

Explorations in Progress

PARABOLES — Zero Gravity Dance

Collaborating with artists and researchers to explore movement and perception in microgravity environments through parabolic flight and analog training.

Rotating Environments (AGSOL / Brandeis)

Working with researchers to investigate how the body adapts to artificial gravity, including experiments in rotating rooms and multi-axis motion systems.

Book (in progress)

Developing a framework for understanding how gravity shapes perception, movement, and thought—bringing together research, experience, and embodied learning.

These explorations are ongoing. Some hasn’t been named yet.
If you’re building something in this space, I’d be curious to hear about it.
