CLIMATE LENS PLAYBOOK (LINK<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Practice literalism. End the tradition of turning everything into a symbol for human life.<\/li>
  2. Occupy science. Befriend facts and factoids. Enrich theatre with the bristly nomenclatures of the natural sciences.<\/li>
  3. Yes to vastness, and yes also to the infinitesimal. Toggle between the Big Picture and Reality-at-Hand, however tiny. Also between Deep History and the Here and Now. Do the Scalar Slide.<\/li>
  4. Practice Glocality: intense focus on our localities, but with global eyes in the back our heads, scanning for interrelatedness and beaming signals out to other localities\u2013consciously, urgently.<\/li>
  5. Loosen your epistemologies. Don\u2019t believe everything you think.<\/li>
  6. Flatten your ontologies. Everyone and everything invited in.<\/li>
  7. Unflatten your geographies. What happens here doesn\u2019t stay here. The Far Away folds right onto the Right Here. Make plays with pleated places.<\/li>
  8. Take all animals seriously, not just human ones. Also plants, including weeds, nettles, hemlock. . . Also minerals, rocks, currents of all kinds, clouds, winds, and other atmospheric forces. Also bacteria. Especially bacteria.<\/li>
  9. Disaggregate the human. Who drives the carbon economy? Who profits? Who suffers?<\/li>
  10. Don\u2019t worry about working up empathy. Sympathy\u2019s all you need. Feeling for<\/em> others is just as powerful\u2014and less anthropocentric?\u2014than feeling with <\/em>others.<\/em><\/li>
  11. De-Sentimentalize \u201cNature.\u201d Keep the awe, lose the \u201cAwww!!!\u201d Forge new affective pathways to the non-human, beyond sadness, guilt, and fear. Invite in humor, anger, joy, irony, sarcasm . . .<\/li>
  12. Stand alongside our fellow species like a breathing exercise, to open up space in our cells for epistemologies of the biosphere that our bodies currently don\u2019t hold, or ones we need to re-ignite. Physicalize awe.  <\/li>
  13. Congregate, coalesce, flock, swarm, meet and greet. But also: disperse, disseminate, distribute, scatter and spread.<\/li>
  14. Biology over psychology, geology over sociology, creaturely life over life style.<\/li>
  15. Invent plans as well as plots, tell times as well as stories, write worlds as well as plays.<\/li>
  16. Create theatres of species life; fill the stage with the Earth.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
