Mindlab: the aftermovie
This is wHat UT staff members say about mindlab
"Fantastic premiere, starting a movement. 'A culture won't change by itself.' A true talking piece; to start conversations on academic values that are left undone."
"Grim but - to me - energizing in a weird way: Mindlab. A theatre production by UT, Utrecht University and TMRK on academia. Now I hope that all Ducos, Caspers, Claudias and Fatmeys will watch and get a refreshing boost too."
"What a fantastic performance, I am very proud to be working at the university that made this happen. Huge compliments!"
"Very well played and how beautifully and authentically portrayed."
"Mindlab was impressive. But...where were the managers of the scientific disciplines? It was (also) about you! #whereareyouwhenitisaboutyou."
"A truly wonderful initiative, with many issues that struck me as a former dean, or at least seemed realistic to me. I also thought the actors were great. I think it made everybody who witnessed the performance think about behaviours and possible behavioural changes. And hopefully, it contributes to making issues or bad work relationships discussable. Of course, many things are going very well too, but that's what is often expressed and that wasn't the intention of this performance."
"I was truly impressed. I liked the way the actors gave shape to conversations not being held."
"It was a nice evening after work to watch the science fiction theatre act Mindlab, great actors."
"A must see for people working at UT and for people working in science in general."
"I loved it! Striking performance, some of it highly recognizable. It was also very interesting to sit down and discuss it with each other afterwards. I think this is exactly what is needed to gain insight and awareness at UT. Superb!"
"You really have to go, even when you're busy!"
"Thank you very much for inviting me to the Mindlab premiere! I experienced it as very impressive, intense, and most of all, very important. What an excellent way to get to talk about those things that would otherwise be pushed into the background far too quickly and easily: wow!"
