SUPPORT OUR SEASON
SUPPORT OUR 2024 SEASON!
In a world increasingly shaped by climate change, our creative programs and projects offer dynamic, inclusive, interdisciplinary spaces to imagine alternative futures. Here's what's coming up in 2024:
- SHC becomes bioregional, focusing our work on the Muhheakantuck (Hudson River) estuary bioregion, which stretches from NYC to Albany
- There Will Be Monsters play-tests and performances at Bard College, Usdan Summer Camp for the Arts, and Salo Farm
- Big Green Theater returns to NY Harbor School, and expands up the Muhheakantuck (Hudson) River for a new, upstate iteration
- Ghost Bike Fellowship for transportation justice launches in NYC
- Eco-Performance Labs and Science Storytelling workshops for hire
We rely on the support of our community to create our work and keep it accessible. Consider making a tax-deductible donation and joining us in modeling a better world through innovative, creative programming for all. Every contribution, big or small, makes a significant impact.
IN DEVELOPMENT
THERE WILL BE MONSTERS
We're creating a new project called There Will Be Monsters, a theatrical game experience for a hopeful climate future, aiming to empower participants with agency over storytelling and decision-making that models a social movement for climate justice. Players representing a multi-species group of heroes travel through a magical version of our own world, seeking tangible solutions to the growing threat of climate "monsters."
In 2023 we began creating Part 1 of an eventual two-part experience, and conducted play-tests with a variety of different participants from adult community members in NYC to summer camp students, and our Youth Fellows from the NY Harbor School. We continue development in 2024 while in residence at Usdan Summer Camp for the Arts on Long Island and Salo Farm in upstate New York, with a goal of premiering the piece in 2025.
