Realness | “Save the Earth Today! Survive Tomorrow!”- We wouldn’t be having the conversations about saving our planet today without the hard work of activists, advocates, and lobbyists sacrificing their time, money, and safety. Bring it as a climate justice activist with a sign that has a true fact about climate change’s impact on our world today. You must have a legible protest sign.
Hands Performance | Flower Children- Flowers have been a symbol of value and beauty for millions of years. From attracting insects to spread their presence, to us humans using them as a token of love and affection, flowers have enticed us all. Serve us a seductive hands performance story in a glove decorated in flowers.

OTA Runway | Reduce, Reuse, Upcycle! Fast fashion has not only created repetitive designs, but also contributes obnoxious amounts of waste and excessive carbon emissions.

You must present photos of the clothes before the transformation.

Bizarre | Monstrous Pollution- Though we talk about pollution and climate change, as a country we struggle to move forward to action. Some people think the threat is not real. Prove them wrong by creating a face for pollution. Bring it in an ovah monster effect that will make people think twice about littering. Your effect must include materials that would otherwise be trash.
Face | The Face of Abundance- Millions of years ago, before human intervention, the Earth was a natural beauty of abundance. Lush forests, vast meadows, radiant sunny days, and stunning views of a sparkling night sky. Bring it as the embodiment of this abundance that artists have painted, written about, and still enjoy to this day.
Body | Farmer’s Only.com- The reason you are able to go to the store and buy whatever produce you need is because of farmers. Farming is hard work that sustains us all and goes underappreciated.
