We Built This City on Rock & Coal: Improv Show
DATE: 9 Jun, 2024TIME: 12:00 PM - 01:00 PM
A climate change, hopepunk comedy show, created by scientists, comedians and… you!
We Built This City on Rock and Coal brings scientists and theatre-makers to the rural west of Ireland for a co-created comedy show driven by hopepunk, climate research, music, and what matters most to the local community. It’s a show that’s fun for you, and good for the planet! We believe that every individual and their community can be part of a solution to climate change.
Research shows that caring for your local environment helps you care for the planet, so join us for sustainability workshops and citizen science activities! The show holds space for audience members to speak up and/or be interviewed. These source materials are used by international improvisation experts to inspire scenes, songs and sketches that are unique to each show and community.
To follow on from the show, join The Sustainable Life School at 2pm in Ballycroy Visitor's Centre on the 9th of June for a fun and informal sustainability workshop.
Funded by Creative Climate Action fund, a Creative Ireland initiative. With additional support by iCRAG, the SFI Research Centres in UCD and University of Galway.
FREE entry but please book your place on Eventbrite.
