a chat with Brianna

Q: Can you please introduce yourself?

My name is Brianna and I play #11. I am in 11th grade and live in Ottawa.

Q: What does being in 12 mean to you?

Q: What’s your favourite part of the natural world? Why?

I really love forests. I take walks in the woods and hear the sound of the wind blowing, moving the trees, the cracking sounds of branches, the sounds of animals close to me, the water in a stream… I love the serenity and the calming presence of the forest.

Q: What’s one of your specific Climate Change worries?

La déforestation excessive. | Excessive deforestation.

Not everyone even knows that Climate Change exists or what it really is and what it does. And, every answer is different!

Q: When the audience leaves 12, you hope they will–

Take it as an opportunity for introspection, outrospection and action. I hope they talk about it with everyone they know. I hope seeing this play changes them, even if just a little.

Q: What’s your favorite word?
