Year 9 - Think Globally, Act Locally

The phrase “clean and green” is a rallying call for people to make a contribution to the enormous challenge of tackling climate change, by considering their own actions and choices. As Australians, we live in an ancient land, where connections between people and the environment have existed for thousands of years. We also have a thriving Arts community in which writers, actors and filmmakers are using their powerful mediums to spread awareness and develop the capacity of Australians to create a more sustainable future. In this collaboration between Drama and Film, TV and New Media, students will work in groups to devise and perform a drama inspired by documented evidence and first-hand accounts of the impacts of the climate crisis. From casting calls to the final production, the group will be tailed by a film crew who will produce a documentary of the behind-the-scenes trials and triumphs as the performance comes together.
