Reality Check: Global Warming

Group 3 Team Members: Claudia Osorio, Bradley Teo, Shreya Bahl, Matthew Weisgable, & Sanah Imani

This show focuses on the effects of global warming on the world and how sustainability practices can be used to solve the issues. As environmental conservation and safety become significant concerns, we were drawn to understanding the dire consequences through a new lens of a light show. Elements like water, fire, winds, light have been combined to form recurring motifs in this artistic display of environmental change.

  • Act 1: This show would start with colors representing a healthy world, before the start of global warming (greens, blues etc.).  The main symbols incorporated here include the northern lights, sunrises, oceans, and more. The rhythm is more or less stable in this section to represent the harmony of life.
  • Act 2: The next part of the show would focus on the negative impact of global warming, with the temperature rising, increased pollution etc (red, orange, grey etc.). The main symbols incorporated here include the forest fires, floods, heavy downpour, and pollution. The pace is often suddenly quickened to highlight the disruption of equilibrium brought on by the onset of global warming.
  • Act 3: Finally the show ends on a positive note, signifying hope for the future if sustainability practices (clean energy, sustainable technology, and increased human responsibility) are followed. The act focuses on a meadow scene with blooming flowers that portray the notion of rebirth. Elements of rhythm and tempo of the lighting will be involved while showing the ‘response’ of nature that retaliates.
