The Buzz

Some exciting stuff is going on at school this year!

I have the opportunity to collaborate with three very creative minds on a piece inspired by environmental theatre of the 1960's. We created a script in which our classmates will stumble upon Mother Earth meditating on a nature trail. Mother Nature will then express how beautiful she was and the devastation her children caused. She will tell us"we are all to blame." Then the class is invited to improv, using a litter mask (created/decorated with litter found on NKU's campus). "I am to blame for..." But then Mother Nature leaves us with some optimism, "we are all a part of the solution." Without the mask our audience will announce, "I am the solution, I will...."

In addition to this exciting project and am preparing for my Capstone, a year long independent research project for my Honor's minor. The plan is to study sustainability on a global and local level. I am traveling to Ecuador to study the local sustainable economy, not to mention visit the Andes and Amazon. For the local level of my project I hope to draw upon my experiences at Boone County.

This is a monumental school year for me... I feel incredibly lucky to work on these various projects and have so many wonderful mentors.
