Today at the NYC Ballet’s Fall Gala
#ExtinctionRebellionNYC demanded the Ballet use its forum to address the #climate crisis and join cultural institutions to declare a #ClimateEmergency. There is no ballet on a dead 🌎.

Silent ghostly-pale spirits danced in meditation wearing dramatic-red cloaks representing the blood of the species that are threatened by #ClimateChange.

A die-in followed at the entrance to the Red Carpet. Extinction is the final curtain call for us all.

Red-cloaked spirits came back from beyond the grave, to warn us of the grave errors we’re making, pleading with us not to destroy ourselves and our ecosystem. 🌎

And oh yeah, I’m one of the ones who succumbed to the harms of #ClimateChange today. Who knew it would be at the #DavidKochTheater in Lincoln Center?
The good news: I am resurrected, ready to fight another day.
