Climate Stories, my One-Woman Show & Embodied Cosmology Curriculum
When I first heard the 13.8 billion-year story of the Earth and Universe - my whole life changed. I found myself writing a one-woman show about it, as well as a fifteen-part, non-formal, science-based, movement and theater curriculum that I offered to both adults and 10-18 year olds. Why tell the universe story, you may be asking? To me, the 13.8 billion year story is a climate story. A story that puts climate, love and wisdom, and why bother about any of it - into a context worth understanding and that we naturally belong to. So here are some pictures of my past works. Partners in crime; Ithaca College, University of Minnesota: Minneapolis’ Bodystormers Lab, Ithaca Science Cabaret, InterPlay Intergenerational Training, Buffalo Museum of Science, Escalante National Park and beyond. Enjoy!
