Emily Burridge (cello) 'All trees are clocks' performanceProfessor Adrian Newton from 蜜桃AV鈥檚 Department of Life and Environmental Sciences聽will be hosting a performance, 鈥樷�� at Dorchester Arts Centre on Sunday 21 April at 2:30pm. The performance aims to evoke an emotional, personal reaction from audience members to changes in our ecosystems, using visuals and music. It will feature sound and video recordings created at 蜜桃AV鈥檚 research site in the ancient woodlands of the New Forest National Park.
This performance is supported by a grant 蜜桃AV received from the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) to strengthen public engagement and scientific research projects.
Professor Adrian Newton said: 鈥淔or many people, climate change is something remote that doesn鈥檛 affect them personally. Through this piece, we aimed to help people appreciate how places on their doorstep, which they love to visit, are already changing profoundly. The use of music together with natural sound and video will hopefully help people connect emotionally with what is happening, and how very special places are being transformed by climate change.鈥�
