Description

Peter and Tyler welcome C.J. Lewis and Professor David Kaye, Founder & Artistic Director of PowerPlay's Interactive Labs at the University of New Hampshire. Powerplay is an exercise in "applied theater" and UNH is using this innovative method to reach and educate the public on climate change.  Theatre has long been used to educate and inform, as well as entertain, but not quite in the way these guys are doing it. David Kaye and C.J believe Applied Theatre is an effective tool reach people on tough complex issues in non-traditional theatre environments like community meeting spaces. The objective of Applied Theatre is to put the audience in the position of "Witness;" to observe teachable moments in a non-judgemental way and create opportunities for professional development, conflict resolution, and social awareness, and change.  PowerPlay Interactive Development hopes to spark new thinking and promote dialogue about climate change in ways that help overcome barriers to action.
