Julia Molnar, left, Emma Bartolomucci and Beatrice Kwan perform The Fourth R: Reduce, Recycle, Revolutionize at the Havenwood Dance Studio in Charlottetown on July 30. Yakosu Umana • Special to The GuardianAn Ontario-based dance troupe is using pop music, afrobeat, drama and choreography to urge its audience to push for climate action.
“The show follows three characters, a fossil fuel CEO, a common consumer and a person vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Their story inevitably intertwines through a natural disaster, and they're forced into an ecological revolution,” she said in an interview on July 30. Most youths are taught about how our climate is changing, however, not much is being taught about how climate change affects communities beyond North America, said Bartolomucci, who was joined in the theatrical, multi-media dance show by Julia Molnar and Beatrice Kwan.
“We have to teach our children how privileged we are. We are starting to see some of the effects in Canada, but there's so much worse in places that are closer to the equator.”Music and dance are just as important as speeches and lectures when it comes to inspiring youth, Bartolomucci said.
