Challenge: Operation Cooperation

Challenge: Instinct Messaging : Have you ever wondered what animals “say” to each other? Dr. Doolittle knew! We humans communicate in many ways - we talk, we use gestures, symbols and devices. We can even use a mobile phone to text message our BFF ;-). Animals don’t communicate by using phones or computers, but they manage to get their message across anyway – loud and clear! They use sounds, color, movement and other tools to warn, inform and network. So get ready to create and communicate – animal style – and let your audience know what the buzz is all about.

Challenge Focus: Theater Arts (Play writing, Scenic Design and Construction, Performing), Animal Science (Zoosemiotics), Research and Teamwork.

Challenge: Instinct Messaging

Whether you’re doing the Twist or singing Ragtime music from the turn of the century, you will make the world of literature fun and exciting - you’ll have the audience dancing out the doors with a song in their hearts!
