The Half-Written Play: A Theatrical Exploration of Community Decision Making on Climate Change
Advertisement
This unique program has been designed to offer participants the opportunity to explore how communities can collaborate better to help guide climate change mitigation policies at the local level. Created by the University of New Hampshire’s PowerPLAY, a professional theatre company that specializes in inter-active theatre, The Half-Written Play presents a group of citizens wrestling with a divisive local policy decision related to area flooding. With the play performed to the midpoint, and the actors frustrated by the dead end at which their characters have arrived, the audience will take charge in charting how the play will conclude.
This performance is associated with the New Frontiers in Research Fund which supports interdisciplinary international transformative programming. The Half-Written Play joins a team of projects being presented in Canada, the UK and Germany that are studying ways to use inter-active theatre and forms of design thinking to work toward communication and collaboration and to improve community decision-making related to climate change and sustainability challenges.
This program is free and open to the public, but registration is required: https://www.yorklandtrust.org/event/the-half-written-play-a-theatrical-exploration-of-community-decision-making-in-the-face-of-climate-change/
