How can we use imagination to help us build a future world we actually want to live in? In this interactive performance, based on a short that was presented at the Sundance film festival, Robert Sinclair, future architect, presents us with a newscast from the future that helps us see the future world we want to create. A multicultural, classically trained artist, actor, and writer, Sinclair uses storytelling to activate the idea that if something is broken, we can fantasize about what it looks like unbroken, and that exercise, in and of itself, can help us to find our way to a solution. As part of his work creating speculative narratives, Sinclair travels around the country to help inspire audiences to put imagination into action.
