Neelambaree Prasad Artist-Led Session

Other creatures largely learn from the things they experience themselves, but our ability to share experiences empowers us to learn from one another. This workshop will explore ways to apply your medium of communication, i.e. creative dance practice and your lived experience as a dancer to convey climate solutions and move away from the doom and gloom narrative that often surrounds us.

The day will begin with a brief introduction to climate science fundamentals and why raising alarm does not move people into action.

This will be followed by sharing examples where art has been used to convey climate solutions and communicate science, discussing if it makes the message more accessible, followed by sharing of the key ingredients needed for a successful collaboration with a climate expert.

After that, you will directly explore your specific dance vocabulary for climate storytelling, using guided exercises individually and in small groups. In the end, you would have gained an entry point into climate storytelling using your specific practice.
