Quiet Riot uses the theater arts to engage communities in shaping a
peaceful, clean energy future. We are in partnership with Lester Brown
and the Earth Policy Institute. We have used his book Plan B 2.0
as one of the inspirations for this 60-minute stage performance:
One Earth, One Family, One
Future
Designed for grades 6-12, universities, and organizations
4 Types Questionnaire Interactive Event—each
audience member discovers his/her personality type: Communicator, Thinker,
Integrator, or Director
Introduction We introduce the idea that the Human Family
is poised to make a Great Transformation, we are about to change FROM
our illusion of Separateness — finite and diminishing dirty energy
INTO the reality of Interdependence — inexhaustible and sharable
clean energy. We show how our two-man team on stage (engineering and metaphor)
relies on interdependence.
Universe to Brain A high energy physical comedy piece
with sound effects and props that reveals the uniqueness within each of
us, and our interdependence with one another, the Earth, and our life
support systems.
4 Billion-Year History of Oil Starting with dead plankton
being cooked over millions of years by pressure and heat into hydrocarbons
to the human pursuit of global power leading to our present day hydrocarbon
“house of cards:” Global Warming, Peak Oil and Resource Depletion.
Spy Satellite True story that reveals Peak Oil
Ice Satellite True story that reveals Global Warming
in acceleration
300,000 Years of Human Invention in 4 Minutes A mime
montage and game with the audience to guess the 30 “significant”
inventions from fire to the fast food hamburger. Some of our inventions
have given us comfort, knowledge, or threaten our extinction.
The 3 Ps and the New Inventions from Plan B 2.0
People, Planet, Profit in Balance: All we need to correct our course is
ALREADY HAPPENING on our planet in small projects, e.g. with regard to
energy: solar (PV, thermal, thin film, hot water heating); geo-thermal;
wind turbines; energy efficiency; and environmental tax reform. This last
“invention” is the key to moving these small successful initiatives
to mainstream practices.
Subsidy Shifting Interactive Event that shows the chain
reaction that occurs when we SHIFT Fossil Fuel and Nuclear Subsidies TO
Energy Conservation — Wind, Solar, Mass Transit and Low-Income Home
Clean Energy Aid — we shift from Separateness to Interdependence.
The 4 Personality Types 4 comedic characters respond
to Subsidy Shifting and the new paradigm of Interdependence: Communicator
sees The Big Picture of Earth Community, Thinker delves into the details
of the solutions already at work on the planet, Integrator empathizes
with the Earth's communities of life and seeks socially and environmentally-just
initiatives, Director takes action with the most timely and effective
initiatives and so focuses on the Three Action Steps for the audience!
Audience Action Steps Interactive Event On the flip side
of the 4 Types Test is a short Subsidy Shifting phone statement and phone
numbers for your Congressional Representative and your two Senators:
- Conserve Energy, Save Money, and Reduce Carbon Emissions —
10 steps for home & school!
- Have your family buy Clean Renewable Energy to drive up demand for
solar and wind energy.
- Join the Subsidy Shifting Campaign — make the phone calls (materials
at the show).
100 People The 6.6 billion people in our global community
are represented by a village of 100. The audience will see that, as Americans
— at this point in history and in a brief window of opportunity
— we are disproportionately empowered to effect change. By evolving
toward Earth Community, we strive for our Future: a system that works
well for the children of all species.
