ABSTRACT
This chapter takes its roots from Denzin and Lincoln’s (2008) call by asking to what extent bringing variety of voices from university and community setting together, around a curriculum would facilitate an opportunity to build radical utopian spaces. It argues that a transdisciplinary collaboration among Indigenous knowledge, Western scientific knowledge and applied theatre could facilitate possibilities of praxis for a dialogical adaptation and mitigation process through two steps; (1) transforming and weaving materials from scientific environmental knowledge and traditional environmental knowledge into theatrical performances in classroom setting; (2) presenting the outcome, performances, to communities to spark a participatory dialogue between students and communities. This chapter, with the guidance of Etuaptmumk/Two-Eyed Seeing approach (Bartlett et al., 2012), enquires how university students and communities could utilize tools of applied theatre to bring two knowledge systems together, as a form of militant utopianism for radical action on climate crisis.
