Slide 6

Artists of every kind have one overriding moral duty, which is to do their work as well as possible. But since that work partly consists of responding to what the world itself is up to, it would be strange if the best work being produced didnt take some account, in some way, of whats happening to our climate. Art is not only about beauty: sometimes it has to warn. Philip Pullman ART and Climate Change?

Slide 26

Keeping Still (2008) We decided on Mahler's Song of the Earth (because of) the feelings which this music evoked in me of the desert and of emptiness. I had wanted for a long time to make a piece which would do justice to my concern with the planet and with what is happening to the planet. Keeping Still, part 1 gives an impetus to thinking about ecology. But I don't know what will come after. - Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker

Slide 27

The Song (2009) The Song is a piece that bespeaks the imminence of a time when our ever-increasing speed of change out- runs itself. In this acceleration towards stillness, as humans consume Earth's last remaining natural resources and the physical body as we know it races towards its own obsolescence, necessary radical shifts in momentum, direction and values question what belongs to the past and what belongs to the future. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbJTpeO5DIo The Song (2009)
