KW-Otesha is a theatre play team in the
Kitchener-Waterloo community, based on The Otesha Project (www.otesha.ca), in
Ottawa, which is a youth-led charitable organization that mobilizes and equips
Canadians to create local and global change through individual and collective
choices.

The vision of KW Otesha is to inspire change in people, illustrating that everyone
has the power to make a difference in the world through their everyday choices.
We realize our vision by delivering performances on environmental and social
justice issues, and through organizing events and activities that build on the
idea of "walking the talk"

The KW-Otesha team currently performs two different plays:

Reason to Dream: The play tells the story of an average teenager who wakes up one day to find a world where everything has changed. He's taken on a magical journey that
illustrates the local and global impacts of his every day choices. It's an
imaginative physical theatre show that leaves audiences feeling inspired,
empowered, and ready to take action. 

Morning Choices: The skit takes you through a typical morning between 8-9 am of two very different teenage students, and it looks at the choices we make on a daily basis and the
impacts of those choices. This humorous and eye-opening presentation explores
the themes of water, clothing, media, coffee, food and transportation.
