Dive deep into Doctor Who with two awesome fan panels in one afternoon! 1-2 p.m. "Wibbly-Wobbly Timey-Wimey: Religion and History in Dr. Who": This panel will explore how a show that has had "all of time and space" as its playground chooses to talk about history, faith, and god(s). We know the Doctor is a Time Lord but how does Doctor Who, both the individual and the series, come to grips with historical people and even forces, like causation and continuity and change over time? Whether facing down a Satan-like figure on the edge of a black hole or encountering the boundaries of the supernatural, how does Doctor Who balance science and faith. 2-3 p.m. "Science as the Doctor’s Companion: A History of Innovation in Doctor Who": There have been many scientific and technological advancements since Doctor Who premiered in 1963, before mankind even landed on the Moon. This panel explores how the series tells compelling stories across different eras, spanning Victorian-era cyberpunk inventions to modern AI concepts and beyond. We'll trace the fascinating evolution of iconic tech like the sonic screwdriver and the Cybermen and how those changes reveal our shifting relationship with innovation, societal fears, and human imagination.

In this program, three composers write pieces which capture the human yearning for another level of experience. The late great African American composer Olly Wilson drew on his roots in jazz and the music of his African ancestors to suggest the terrifying power of Shango, the ancient Yoruba god of thunder and lightning. In the slow movement of his Fourth Piano Concerto, Beethoven calls to mind the Greek divinity Orpheus, who tamed wild beasts with the beauty of his music. Sibelius’ First Symphony plunges deep into the imaginary mystical mythology of prehistoric Finland.
