Climate Change Meets Musical Theatre - The DAS Behind The Scenes Podcast!

For the last 11 weeks, the DAS Tuesday Seniors (Doorstep Arts Studio Courses) have been working on a project, where 15 of their young people explored and learnt more about climate change through a subject they know and love- Musical Theatre! Polly at Doorstep and Evelyn O’Malley from The University of Exeter led on this project, and with help from Doorstep Associate Artist Amy Mellows, the young people at DAS have created 2 podcasts about this experience.

This first podcast gives an insight into their rehearsal and performance process,  with songs from their musicals and discussions with DAS about the climate emergency and what it means to them. Our young people also interviewed Dr Freya Garry from the MET office as part of their process and were featured on BBC Radio Devon with Jo Loosemore.

We have many friends and family who cannot go out of their homes and we cannot go and see them. This is a musical hug for them all and this song features a cousin in Wolverhampton, an artist friend in Torquay, an elderly lady in Ashburton and a sister in Ireland, all of whom are on their own. But please sing it with other names of people you know and love.

Thanks so much to son Laurie for adding emotional cornet from Bristol.
