About
A transdisciplinary conservation-theatre project and short play series aimed to increase science identity in the theatre industry.
What is science identity?
Science identity describes a person's willingness to participate in and expectation to succeed in science activities. Therefore, a higher science identity may lead to a greater participation in science activities, both professionally and recreationally. It can be increased through a number of activities artists naturally participate in, such as creativity, inquiry, and reflection.
And fostering science identity in the theatre community is important when considering we are storytellers who are primed for communicating difficult topics, sparking cathartic experiences, igniting conversations, and inspiring behavior change.
