Heron’s Eye Communications participated in the expo preceding NACL Theatre’s THE WEATHER PROJECT Community Play on Saturday, August 9, in Yulan, NY.
We set up our “rookery” and invited people to co-compose poetry with us as part of our Talk Tails experiment, encouraging intoxicating conversation about the weather and where it’s all headed. We engaged in creative word play, stream-of-consciousness craziness, co-composed poetry and more.
The results are presented in this short film for all to sip upon as we navigate the post-Weather-Project world together…
THE WEATHER PROJECT was the culmination of a massive community arts and science exploration that included residents, artists and scientists in dialogue about the subject of the weather and climate.
Its cast of more than 30 was comprised of professional actors and community members ages 4 and up, directed by NACL Artistic Director Tannis Kowalchuk. Research Scientist Elaine Matthews of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies portrayed the role of the scientist.
