Ithaca College

Friday, November 6, 2015, 5:00-7:00 pm
IC Library, Gannett Center, 2nd Floor

Initiated by Saviana Condeescu (assistant professor - Theatre Arts, CP Snow Steering Committee) and Wade Pickren (director, Center for Faculty Excellence).

The Ithaca College action is contributing to a series of worldwide readings and performances intended to bring awareness to, and foster discussion around, climate change during the months of November and December 2015. A joint venture between NoPassport, The Arctic Cycle and Theatre Without Borders, this global action is in support of the United Nations 2015 Paris Climate Conference (COP21) taking place November 30-December 11, 2015.

Our event brings to the Ithaca College community script-in-hand readings of 1-5 minute plays written specifically for this global action by some of the world's most exciting playwrights: Neil LaBute, Caridad Svich, Arthur Kopit, Chantal Bilodeau, Koffi Kwahulé, Naomi Izuka, Eric Ehn, Lynn Rosen, Byrony Lavery, Winter Miller, Saviana Stanescu, etc. Two plays written by playwriting students will be added to the lineup. A company of 10-12 volunteering actors, mostly Theatre Arts students, will perform the script-in-hand readings.

The plays are presented in conjunction with a panel of experts who will frame the theoretical conversation about Climate Change. Professors Luke Keller (Physics and Astronomy), Tom Shevory (Politics) and Fae Dremock (Environmental Studies) will provide their insights on the panel.
