Yell Fire Theatre Productions

The BC wing of the Sierra Youth Coalition (SYC) is now accepting submissions for the first ever "Yell Fire" theatre production.

Yell Fire...
  • ...expresses the urgency of the problems we face in the world today.
  • ...suggests the ineffectiveness of communicating fear and panic rather than taking action.
  • ...calls for more attention to root causes and long-term solutions, not just the immediately visible symptoms of a problem.
  • ...is a grassroots theatre production exploring climate change through a creative lens - using drama, art and film.

Submissions may include short monologues, films, or any medium you want to express yourself in. Pieces should be based on your perceptions and experiences around climate change.

Some suggestions for topics include:
  • seeing the impacts of climate change
  • what type of world do you want your children to live in?
  • exploring root causes of climate change
  • climate change in the media and political arena
  • positive actions real people are taking
  • the sky is the limit really!

You can be sad, you can be funny, you can be hopeful, you can be frustrated. It's art so you can say anything you want to say.

If you are interested, send a brief description of your topic to aclimateforlove@gmail.com by December 9th. Pieces will be reviewed for suitability and short listed by an SYC-appointed panel. Final submissions are due on January 6, and rehearsals will start soon after. Production will take place in Kamloops and Vancouver, starting in February 2008.
