A Symposium Associated with the Opening of the Play Copenhagen in Washington, DC

迈克尔·弗莱恩的戏剧《哥本哈根》将在华盛顿举行为期四周的演出，目前定于2002年2月26日至3月24日举行。该剧再现了1941年维尔纳·海森堡和尼尔斯·玻尔在纳粹占领的丹麦的一次真实会面的可能事件。 研讨会将寻求确保和扩大公众和学生参与戏剧的科学和戏剧。有必要让公众参与和了解科学、科学家以及科学对我们日常生活的影响。 《哥本哈根》这部戏剧也许比任何一部以科学为基础的戏剧都更能让观众理解新物理学的影响。 研讨会将在戏剧开幕前一周举行，包括三个部分：1-哥本哈根周围的科学和历史，重点是哥本哈根的科学，及其对现代的影响。2-理解的字符的发挥，与发言者谁知道三个字符的发挥，（玻尔，他的妻子玛格丽特和海森堡）和。3-解构哥本哈根，剧作家、戏剧评论家、作家和记者审视该剧的结构和戏剧元素。研讨会的听众是一般公众，重点是学生。 专题讨论会和相关座谈会和研讨会的影响将通过当地新闻界的广泛兴趣，包括电视，广播和印刷品，远远超出与会者。扩展的座谈会和讨论将鼓励辩论和跨学科的学习机会，包括科学（物理），人文（历史）和艺术（戏剧）。

A symposium will be organized in conjunction with the opening of Michael Frayn's play "Copenhagen" in its four-week run in Washington, currently scheduled for February 26, 2002 through March 24, 2002. The play reenacts possible events associated with an actual 1941 meeting between Werner Heisenberg and Niels Bohr in Nazi-occupied Denmark. The symposium will seek to ensure and expand the involvement of the general public and students in the science and drama of the play. There is a need to engage and inform the general public in the understanding and appreciation of science, scientists and the impact of science on our daily lives. The play Copenhagen, perhaps more than any science-based play, involves the audience in an understanding of the impact of the new physics. The symposium will be held about a week before the play opening and consists of three parts: 1- The Science and History Surrounding Copenhagen focused on the science in Copenhagen, and its modern day impact. 2- An Understanding of the Characters of the Play, with speakers who knew the three characters in the play, (Bohr, his wife Margrethe and Heisenberg) and. 3-Deconstructing Copenhagen, with the playwright, theater critics, writers and journalists examining the construction and dramatic elements of the play. The audience for the symposium is the general public with a strong emphasis on students. The impact of the symposium and the associate colloquia and seminars will extend well beyond the attendees through wide interest by the local press including, TV, radio and print. The extended colloquia and discussions will encourage debates and interdisciplinary learning opportunities by including the sciences (physics), the humanities (history), and the arts (theater).
