“Art and Science Share the Stage: Ferocious Beauty: Genome”
8 – 10 p.m. Friday May 2
(Severance Room – advance on-site registration required***)
Choreographer Liz Lerman discusses and shows excerpts from her highly acclaimed performance project, Ferocious Beauty: Genome. From folk tales to scientists as choreographers, the piece takes an unconventional look at the nature of the genome and its impact.
Lerman asks tough questions about the ethical, legal and social implications of genomics: why do we want to live so long? If we have the capacity to select what we want in our genes, what will happen to diversity? If perfection is possible, who decides what it is?
Physician-geneticist Francis Collins, director of the National Human Genome Research Institute, says of Ferocious Beauty: Genome, “It draws you in, it's an experience. Science is seen by many people as impenetrable because it's full of jargon and it's hard to understand what people are talking about. This is so accessible, yet it's so mysterious, in a way that science can be as well.”
***Limited reservations available for this presentation. ELSI participants may register as space permits. Sign up at the registration desk at the Renaissance Hotel during the conference. The event is free to ELSI participants.***
