Shine, a musical performance
about how energy, humanity, and climate are interrelated. Weaving
together climate science and artistic expression, it results
in a funny and powerful story spanning 300 million
years. The first half is professionally scripted, composed,
and choreographed to convey how our use of fossil fuels is
impacting our climate. The second half - our future story - is
authored by local youth to generate solutions for their city’s
resilience. In rehearsing the musical, participants themselves
embody aspects of climate science and human
development. Ultimately, it demonstrates that
performance can be a dynamic tool for youth to contribute to
their community’s resilience.
