Exploring the Creative Dance Between
the Arts and Sciences
with guests Jeff Kiehl and Marda Kirn
Thursday, March 19th
12:00pm to 1:30pm

The arts and sciences have much to offer in terms of how we experience and understand the world in which we live. In this conversation, we explore how the creative interaction between the arts, rooted in the perception of experience, and the sciences, rooted in the pursuit of knowledge, awakens us to the richness of the world. We discuss how creativity arises in both of these disciplines and how the dance between the arts and sciences leads to more effective ways of communicating important issues like climate change to the public. Our goal is to show how the marriage of the arts and sciences provides a unique bridge to developing a flourishing future.

Jeffrey Kiehl, PhD, is a senior scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research. He has published over 120 articles on climate change and is the co-author of the book Frontiers of Climate Modeling. Jeffrey also holds a master’s degree in psychology from Regis University. With this education he is currently researching the question of why we treat nature the way we do, and how humans value nature from a psychological and philosophical perspective.

Marda Kirn is the founding director of EcoArts Connections which brings together   arts, science, and other fields to inspire sustainable living. Marda has spoken nationally at conferences about the benefits of arts/science/sustainability collaborations. Previously, she was the founding director of the Colorado Dance Festival, and in 2007, Marda initiated the exhibition “Weather Report: Art and Climate Change,” exhibiting works by 51 artists from the US and abroad.
