Some of you might actually have noticed I've been largely unreachable over the weekend, and if you've been following closely you might've of picked up why. I was lucky enough to spend the last few days covering the Powershift youth summit at our very own UWS (Parra) with some fellow media students (from film, journalism, PR, advertising, photography). The conference saw thousands from around the country descend to Sydney for talks, workshops and seminars on the very present issue of climate change, and how it effects the lives of youths today.
On the 3rd and final day, and after several tightly wrapped rehearsals, participants of the summit were involved in a flash-mob dance at the steps of The Opera House, a choreography put together by ALive Entertainment, a crew comprised largely of past So You Think You Can Dance constestants. Above is the resulting "viral" video, which gained national media coverage, including Chnl 10, SBS and the ABC- as well as endless online presence - seeing the dance a success in gaining exposure to their important climate change message.
check out photos from the dance & the rest of the weekend on the UWS Flickr.
*that's me smashing out some photos at the top of the steps at the end.
