Dr. Dan Riskin is the co-host of Daily Planet on Discovery Canada, but he is also a biologist who has spent more than 20 years exploring the biomechanics of bats. In this talk, Dan will talk about the science that got him interested in science in the first place. He’ll showcase the incredible biomechanical abilities bats possess – they fly, flip, fall, land, walk, jump, avoid obstacles, and more. Using images, videos, sounds, and stories from his own research experience, Dan will show us what makes bats almost supernatural athletes. After he talks the talk, Dan will walk the walk, taking people outside, to hear passing bats with a handheld bat monitor, and to continue the conversation.

Ages: Adults and youth 8 years and up.

This talk will be followed by a guided Urban Bat Walk starting at 8:15pm.

Your destination for decidedly untraditional Shakespeare under the stars, all summer long. Canada’s longest-running outdoor theatre event celebrates its 35th year with bold new takes on two Shakespeare classics. Get transported from the enchanted musical shores of Illyria, setting for the madcap comedy of mistaken identity Twelfth Night (or What You Will), to the divided kingdom of King Lear, one of the most monumental works of English drama – re-imagined from a female perspective, and starring award-winning actor Diane D’Aquila.

“You can’t spend a summer in Toronto without stopping by Shakespeare in High Park”
