Defying Doomsday: a catalyst for change - An IATL's Den Successful Bid 2025
Danny Turner
Summary
This pilot project is a touring, multi-sensory installation that explores the emotional and ecological impact of climate collapse—beginning with wonder, moving through devastation, and ending with a hopeful call to action. Through immersive storytelling, sound, lighting, animation, and interactive elements, it transforms climate data into a powerful, lived experience. The installation invites audiences to reflect, engage, and respond—bridging the gap between awareness and personal impact. Developed from work in my Applied Imagination module, the project reimagines science communication by blending art, theatre, and environmental science to make the climate crisis urgent, unforgettable, and a catalyst for change.
