The 5th instalment of Brinkman’s Rap Guide series, Rap Guide to Consciousness is part rap concert, part standup comedy, and part Ted Talk, a new species theatre that Broadway Baby has called Mind-blowingly, awe-inspiringly good! Brinkman, who grew up in Vancouver and is now an award-winning musician, scholar, and theatre performer based in New York, takes audiences on a journey through the ancient mind-body problem, and the amazing discoveries of modern psychology and neuroscience that might help unwind it. A journey of self-discovery that mixes mindfulness with rationalism and irreverent humour, Consciousness grapples with the inner workings of the psyche, the future of thinking machines, and the insights offered by psychedelics, embryos, and octopus minds.
