VENUE: THE PLAYTRAIL AMPHITHEATRE
Performer/Artist: Ikidowin Theater Acting Ensemble
We Do It For the Water follows the historical protest to save Coldwater Springs, after finding the toxic elements within the water as well as stories from the Dakota Access Pipeline Protests. We hear of how this impacts not only the individuals whose stories we hear, but the continuous struggle to stand up for clean water faced with the threat of industrial development by corporations.
The play brings inspiration to protect Mother Earth.
ARTITUDE CLIMATE FESTIVAL
A free three day community-led celebration of art, climate action and the circular economy.
Showcasing creative, community-led responses to the climate emergency, the festival is delivered in collaboration with The Gathering, Zero Waste North West (ZWNW), Northern Ireland Resources Network (NIRN), Environmental Justice Network Ireland (EJNI) Friends of the Earth NI and Making Relatives - a visit of water and land protectors from Ojibwe Nation, US.
Emerging from The Playhouse's Artitude: Climate, Culture and Circularity project, the festival is part of a unique and transformational programme of activity, using the arts and creative practice to engage communities in the DCSDC area in exploring climate action and the circular economy, with a view to encouraging positive behavioural change.
The Playhouse works with partners Zero Waste North West, Northern Ireland Resources Network, Queens University and Derry City and Strabane District Council to use the arts to co-ordinate and deliver the 18 month programme.
