Ecodrama And Sustainable Theatre: A Handbook For Creating Remarkable Change, Gigi Buddie
Ecodrama And Sustainable Theatre: A Handbook For Creating Remarkable Change, Gigi Buddie
Pomona Senior Theses
The climate crisis is not new to us, nor are the art forms that have taken shape as vital components of the many activist movements that seek to save the planet.

I focused specifically on Camp Afflerbaugh-Paige, an LA County juvenile probation facility, in La Verne, CA, as a case study.

Los Angeles County Probation spends $233,000 per student per year; assuming best intentions of …
