For a number of years, philosopher/artist/musician David Rothenberg has interacted with creatures great and small, from thrushes and whales to pondbugs, cicadas and nightingales. In his research and practice, he focuses on how different species communicate and how it is possible, through music, to play together and communicate across species. In Tromsø, he played a unique mini-concert with the kittiwakes at Tromsø Centre for Contemporary Arts during the seminar Can People and Birds be Friends.
