Workshop Leader
As a member of the Advisory Board for Youth Power Indiana, a subsidiary of Earth Charter Indiana, I lead workshops during seasonal Climate Camps, on the arts in climate change.
For more information about Youth Power Indiana, follow this link.
At the August 2015 Climate Camp, I led a series of half-hour theatre workshops, invovling mind, body, and soul warm-ups; readings from The Earth Charter; and engaging in what it means to be a "climate ambassador".
