In ‘The Opaque Gospel’, Ella Silver-Lewis intertwines spoken word and choreography to confront the rising tide both literal and emotional. A Junior from New York and a 2021 Ocean Awareness Contest winner, Ella began her journey into sea level rise through writing, crafting an article for her school’s Green Zine that opened her eyes to a terrifying, sinking future. But from that fear came a vision: a performance that could speak through silence, move without music, and translate anxiety into urgent beauty. By choreographing a dance to her own poem, Ella merges two artistic languages she holds dear, creating a piece that mourns the Earth’s wounds and calls gently for healing. The Opaque Gospel is a meditation on our planet’s fragility and a quiet act of devotion, asking us to feel deeply, learn freely, and act compassionately. #BowSeat #OceanAwarenessContest #YouthArt #Artivism #ClimatePoetry #SeaLevelRise #DanceForThePlanet #SpokenWord #CreativeClimateAction #EnvironmentalJustice #You...
