Environmental Crisis

April 6, 2007
MIll College Concert Hall
Oakland, California

Investigating the intersections between nature and
technology, humans and the environment, and the often nebulous, vet highly complex inrelational dvnamics of cooperation, competition, and imbalance. The Global Environmental Crisis is the first installation in the five-part Containment Scenario series exploring the discourse around the climate crisis. Multi-disciplinary in its approach, The Global Environmental Crisis combines stage direction, choreography, structured improvisation, and is developed in
collaboration with the ensemble to navigate across expertise and discipline, as a means of engaging the "inter" or "trans" between or across these points of inquiry including cooperation, competition, and imbalance. The Global Environmental Crisis
is adapted from the book: Containment Scenario: DisLoInter MedTextId entCation: Horse Medicine (OBooks. 2009)
