What<\/strong>\u2019<\/strong>s The Grey Matter With Gregory?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

School pupils in Stirling, Inverness and Edinburgh are invited to step back to the 1980<\/strong>\u2019<\/strong>s and study the rules of attraction at Abronhill High<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Venues in Stirling (Macrobert Arts Centre, 11th January), Inverness (Eden Court, 12th January) and Edinburgh (Summerhall, 18th January) will transform into\u00a01980\u2019s Abronhill High School in this thrilling mix of arts and science education. Students will take biology lessons on the science of human attraction alongside PhD scientists and witness the characters from the film step off the screen and into the classroom as classic scenes are recreated by young actors from the local area. The day will be rounded off with a screening of Bill Forsyth\u2019s classic, Gregory\u2019s Girl.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Abronhill High School appears to be undergoing a rather strange outbreak of \u2018flirtatiousness\u2019 that the authorities are none too pleased with. The Department for the Investigation of Amorous Disorders (D.I.A.D.) have been called in to help understand what has befallen those students at Abronhill High – and that is where local 21st century students will come in.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

During the course of the day, students (as scientists from D.I.A.D.) will step\u00a0into the 1980s and the strange world of Abronhill High, meeting the characters from the film,\u00a0observing their behaviour and taking part in a series of workshops. Students will meet and\u00a0work alongside PhD scientists\u00a0as they examine the influence\u00a0that psychology and hormones hold over human behaviour\u2026<\/p>\n
