Performing The World 2012 Conference
New York City
Beth Osnes will be presenting the work she has been doing in the Navajo Nation to use the arts to raise awareness about clean energy options in New York City at the conference event, Performing The World 2012. Energy Justice: The Musical is a performance written by Beth Osnes and performed by the student group, Performers Without Borders at the University of Colorado, to perform interactively with students in the Navajo Nation to teach about clean energy solutions. This performance features shadow play using solar-powered lights and music by Emmy-award winning, Tom Wasinger, to illuminate energy access problems throughout the Navajo Nation. The interactive nature of the performance allows the audience to participate in finding the solutions in clean energy. We will also present the curriculum we are developing for elementary through high school students in the Navajo Nation. We believe our active techniques will uniquely engage the students in imagining energy solutions based on their individual energy needs. By having each student do an energy survey at home with their families, we believe we can engage much of the community in education and awareness of clean energy solutions. This is in collaboration with Eagle Energy, a subsidiary of Elephant Energy. More Info.
