We were able to gather essential scientific information, but more importantly, we built strong ties with Mongolian academics and local community members as a groundwork for future monitoring of the effects of climate change on wildlife and the mountain ecosystems." -Rebecca Watters, Project Director, Northern Rockies Conservation Cooperative<br /> <br /> <em>Photo by Marissa Smith</em></p><p>"What better place to develop a new performance inspired by themes of a Polish writer during the second world war than in Poland and Slovakia? Continued development of the piece at Stanica in Slovakia allowed me to witness work of a wonderfully vital arts center--something that I did not see in Slovakia fifteen years ago when I left my homeland. Seeing myself and the work within this re-visited context allowed me to understand my own process better and informed my artistic choices." -Pavel Zustiak, Choreographer/Director, Palissimo Dance Theatre <br /> <br /> <em>Photo by Jeremy Lehman</em></p><p>"The Watermill Summer Program was for me a beautiful multicultural experience. I had a chance to cooperate on different projects and this way I learned many practical things that I can use in the future as a stage designer. The process could be 'study in action' -- things were happening all day long in a very intense way. I appreciated the cooperation with artist Jia-Jen and choreographer Victoria Macarte on the project <em>Sweeping the earth with wings made of rusty knives</em>, a performance with a special metal sheet 'costume'." -Natalia Velka, Byrd Hoffman Watermill Summer Program Participant<br /> <br /> <em>Photo by Lovis Dengler Ostenrik</em></p><p>The Nature Conservancy staff bird watch outside of the Gun-Galuut Nature Reserve in Mongolia.<br /> <br /> <em>Photo by Alexander Stipsitz</em></p><p>American composer Aaron "Taylor" Kuffner controlling the gamelatron, the world's first fully robotic Indonesian Gamelan Orchestra, performing at the <em>Bells of the World Event</em> in Moscow.<br /> <br /> <em>Photo by Yuri Elik</em></p><p>CEC ArtsLink fellows during a tour of Chelsea galleries in New York.<br /> <br /> <em>Photo by Anthony Aziz</em></p><p>Nomadic herders gather in a ger to participate in a food web activity organized by the Denver Zoological Foundation in the Eastern Steppe of Mongolia.<br /> <br /> <em>Photo by Tungalagtuya Khuukenduu, courtesy of Denver Zoo and Nomadic Nature Conservation</em></p><p>Members of the Young@Heart Chorus performing under the direction of Bob Cilman.<br /> <br /> <em>Photo by Jodi Nicholas</em></p>
