Climate Play

Over the past three years, Climate Play has created eight hyper-local verbatim plays in eight different communities, including Whitehorse. The national Climate Play braids together four main elements from the plays: the script edited from the transcripts of the interviews; photos and videos of local land, water, and nature filmed by local artists in each community; a mid-show facilitated audience discussion; original music inspired by the transcripts of the interviews, including a new song generated from the end Act I discussion and performed for the first time.

Presented by Community Circle. Thank you to Canada Council for the Arts, University of British Columbia, and Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada.

Content Warnings: Existential dread.

Length: ~100 Minutes + 15 Minute Intermission

This presentation also includes Orb Weaver - an interactive art installation!

Orbweaver

Created by Nicole Schafenacker
Facilitated by Fabienne Calvert Filteau and Nicole Schafenacker

What are your wishes for the climate? What are your questions for the future? Inspired by the Orbweaver spider, together we will weave our words into a vision for tomorrow.
