As for the shock of the new - I'm involved in a contemporary art museum in the Netherlands which has an international reputation as one of the best of the country. I've done exhibitions at the Van Gogh involving contemporary art and we've done work with modern painters, sculptors and photographers.

en But here's old Ken - he's been crass, he's been insensitive and thuggish and brutal in his language - but I don't think actually if you read what he said, although it was extraordinary and rude, I don't think he was actually anti-Semitic.

en We are now combining ... American history with modern technology and modern contemporary lifestyles.

en The language was what we did the most work on. A big part of it was just performance wise, figuring out how to attack it. We thought that maybe we'd just try applying a modern, natural style of acting to it and just ignore the fact that it's this very formal type of language, and that didn't work at all. That totally fell completely flat.

en We're going to do some old traditional folk songs. We haven't completely set up a list. We'll play some music from modern Celtic rock bands like the Seven Nations. We'll play a couple of more contemporary Irish tunes that I wouldn't call rock; they're more contemporary ballads. We haven't set it all out yet, but they run the gamut.

en Our contemporary program has grown so much that it warrants its own show. We get equal recognition for our contemporary work.
