[Green] Fw: Climate Change Theatre Event

Tue Jul 9 07:02:30 CDT 2019

Let’s do it! I can do readings from Dahr Jamal’s ‘ End of Ice and David Wallace-Wells The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming. I think every day about all the planets’ children under 50. I also am working on a community project to plant 100 arborvitaes along the new section of Marietta River Trail to screen a junk yard and provide some shade and 02. Don’t know how this fits, but it will be taking place this fall and it’s going to take lots of people. Big trees!

  We could have a poetry reading old-fashioned coffee house where everyone wears beatnik attire and we get up and read our poems.  It could even be on a night where we have potluck so we don't have to have a special event to make more work...just have fun with it.  Annie

 #yiv4341315907 P {margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;}  Hello, all,  
   Climate Change Theatre Action is part of an initiative that uses the arts to inspire action on climate change. This year's goal is to have readings or productions of short plays in all fifty states in conjunction with the Santiago Climate Conference, sometime between September 15 and December 21. The staging need  not be elaborate.  
   Is this something that Green Sanctuary or MOVCA might want to participate in?

|  Looking for a Few Missing States! 
 We're still signing up producing collaborators interested in presenting a  reading or performance of short climate change plays this fall as  part of  Climate Change Theatre Action 2019. Anyone, anywhere in the world, is invited to join the 200+ individuals  and organizations who have already committed to bringing these plays to their communities. 

 In addition, we're determined to have all 50 US States  represented. Imagine if the US showed a united front on climate change. How powerful would that be? But we're short a few states.  Can you help? If you know anyone in the following states who  might want to host an event, please send them our way!

 ALABAMA • ARKANSAS • DELAWARE • IDAHO • KENTUCKY • NEBRASKA • NEWHAMPSHIRE • NORTH DAKOTA • OREGON • SOUTH DAKOTA • TENNESSEE • VERMONT • WYOMING

 We have a few more spots available for the  Artists & Climate Change Incubator in New York City, July 22-26, 2019. Here's what Judy Twedt,  one of the participants in the Alaska Incubator, which took place May 27-31, 2019 in Anchorage, says about her experience:

 "I've never been in a workshop that was both so open ended but also focused. I really appreciated  that framework and the design which allowed for this organic evolution of  the week."

|  COME TOGETHER, RIGHT NOW...
 by Joan Sullivan

 "This banding together for collective action is, in my opinion,  the best way that artists can “change the narrative” about climate  change. As eco-anxiety increases, artists can shift our focus away  from dystopic discourse to climate narratives that reduce  feelings of isolation andhopelessness..."

|  PAINTING THE OCEANS: ALL OF THEM
 by Susan Hoffman Fishman

 "In 2001, during a visit to the Doñana National Park in Huelva,  Spain, where Eubank had been sketching the dunes for days with her  back to the sea, she turned around. Forcing herself to draw the  water, Eubank began what became a decades-long passion."

|  REFUGE IN A CLIMATE CONTEXT
 by Julia Levine

 "The play lays out the problems, especially what it means  to be displaced and to relocate home, but it does not dwell on the hardships. Instead, Blessed Unrest and Teatri Oda use true  stories from the past to demonstrate how the world could be:  namely, more loving."

|  WILD AUTHORS: MARIAN WOMACK
 by Mary Woodbury

 "What eco-fiction is giving us is a world in which the Real  (environmental forces that are beyond the control of any single  individual) is more absolutely present, and this incomprehensible  cosmic truth that previously we only saw in glimpses is  now breaking through to display itself to us on a day-to-day basis."

|  AN INTERVIEW WITH ARTIST TALI WEINBERG
 by Amy Brady

 "...weaving, to me, is a way to speak beyond binaries. It  is cerebral and embodied knowledge; material and relational; high and low tech; object-making and social practice; math and art;  political and personal; tied to capital and care, domestic and industrial  production."

|  REVITALIZING RURAL CHINA WITH ART AND DESIGN
 by Yasmine Ostendorf 
 "The aim of the Rural Design Challenge is to encourage students to  come up with ideas that can be implemented and benefit the local  community – bringing people in, creating work opportunities, and feeding  the local economy."

|  ON THE ENDURING BEAUTY, POWER AND FRAGILITY OF WATER
 Susan Hoffman Fishman

 "Although Cohen clearly acknowledges the negative, man-made  impact on waterways, her installations, sculptures and drawings are  filled with a sense of awe at the ability of some plants and animals to adapt and  survive in their altered conditions..."
