The Enlightenment Cafe: New Atlantis is an international organisation charged with monitoring and providing solutions to the tempestuous relationship between humanity and water.Alongside UCL, Pennine Water Group, RAL Space and the British Library, LAStheatre is bringing its own brand of multidisciplinary theatre to a subterranean space in London, looking at how science and society are dealing with some of the most pressing issues of the 21st Century. The show will involve engineers and scientists from satellite technology, meteorology, biochemistry, naval architecture and civil engineering providing the audience with an opportunity to interact with experts on a range of topics, including Climate Change, London's waterways and Conflict. Combined with schools outreach, a series of short films about each scientist/engineer and an online space that can engage audiences through social media and digital research, The Enlightenment Cafe: New Atlantis will celebrate scientists, engineers and artists alike, bringing their work to new and diverse audiences.As with our previous Enlightenment Cafe projects, we aim to achieve:1. The entire project:- Create an exciting new piece of immersive, interactive theatre- Develop innovative new pieces of science communication across STEM subjects relating to water and climate change, which can be re-used by collaborators after the show.- Develop an associated outreach project for local schools- Develop a teacher's pack, downloadable from Times Educational Supplement website, with all collaborators aimed at Key Stages 3/4. - Make a series of short films of each STEM section of the show to reach further audiences after the show. - Encourage excitement in STEM areas relating to water and climate change in all ages, particularly in audiences new to science communication - a target of 50% of all audiences is set for each production.- Create a greater understanding of climate change, and how societies can work together to prepare or prevent it, through bringing a number of STEM fields together in this innovative theatrical environment.2. The funding from STFC, all of the above, plus:- Create a section of the show about satellite technology and the study of Earth's atmosphere.- Collaborate with RAL Space and others for this piece of science communication and include scientists and engineers in this section of the show.- Work with scientists and engineers from RAL Space to assist their science communication skills, and how to reach new audiences, particularly in relation to working with the arts.- Bring new audiences, including schools, to the work of STFC funded organizations and projects.STFC has funded, and continues to fund a great amount of research into Earth's atmosphere, particularly in attempting to understand Climate Change. We want to being this important and topical work to an audience that would not normally interact with science communication.Impacts:Our shows have achieved a number of impacts, these would be relevant to this new project:1. Help scientists and engineers create pieces of science communication, opening new methods and highlighting the benefits of science/theatre collaborations2. Give the audience a big picture understanding of Climate Change and Water related issues. By combining a number of science institutions and fields the audience will be given a cross-section of possibilities in the science and engineering realm, and how they feed off each other.3. Endeavour to change behaviours around personal water usage, by reaching schools and families with the digital technology and genuine science, delivered by passionate experts.4. Using theatre to communicate the work of RAL Space engineers, satellite technology and Earth's atmosphere, with an ambition to develop audiences' interests in related STEM subjects, especially students.

启蒙咖啡馆：新亚特兰蒂斯是一个国际组织，负责监测人类与水之间的关系，并提供解决方案。与伦敦大学学院，奔宁水务集团，RAL空间和大英图书馆一起，LAStheatre将自己品牌的多学科剧院带到伦敦的地下空间，研究科学和社会如何处理21世纪世纪最紧迫的问题。该展览将涉及来自卫星技术，气象学，生物化学，海军建筑和土木工程的工程师和科学家，为观众提供与专家就一系列主题进行互动的机会，包括气候变化，伦敦的水道和冲突。结合学校外展，一系列关于每个科学家/工程师的短片，以及一个可以通过社交媒体和数字研究吸引观众的在线空间，The Enlightenment Cafe：New Atlantis将庆祝科学家，工程师和艺术家，将他们的工作带给新的和多样化的观众。与我们以前的Enlightenment Cafe项目一样，我们的目标是实现：1.整个项目：-创建一个令人兴奋的沉浸式互动剧院的新作品-开发跨与水和气候变化有关的STEM主题的创新科学传播作品，这些作品可以在演出结束后由合作者重新使用。为当地学校开发一个相关的推广项目-开发一个教师包，从时代教育增刊网站下载，所有合作者针对关键阶段3/4。- 制作一系列的短片，每个STEM部分的显示，以达到更多的观众后，显示。- 鼓励所有年龄段的人在与水和气候变化有关的STEM领域感到兴奋，特别是在科学传播的新受众中-为每个产品设定了50%的目标。通过在这个创新的戏剧环境中将一些STEM领域聚集在一起，加深对气候变化的理解，以及社会如何共同努力准备或预防气候变化。从STFC的资金，上述所有，加上：-创建一个关于卫星技术和地球大气层的研究显示部分。与RAL Space和其他人合作进行这一科学交流，并将科学家和工程师纳入展览的这一部分。与RAL Space的科学家和工程师合作，帮助他们掌握科学沟通技能，以及如何接触新的受众，特别是与艺术合作有关的受众。为STFC资助的组织和项目带来新的受众，包括学校。STFC已经并将继续资助大量关于地球大气层的研究，特别是试图了解气候变化的研究。我们希望将这一重要的和专题性的工作，以观众，通常不会与科学交流。影响：我们的节目已经取得了一些影响，这些将是相关的这个新项目：1.帮助科学家和工程师创造科学传播的片段，开辟新的方法，突出科学/戏剧合作的好处2。让观众对气候变化和水资源相关问题有一个全面的了解。通过结合一些科学机构和领域，观众将得到一个横截面的可能性在科学和工程领域，以及他们如何养活对方。通过热情的专家提供的数字技术和真正的科学，努力改变个人用水行为。4.利用剧院来传达RAL空间工程师的工作，卫星技术和地球大气层，旨在培养观众对相关STEM科目的兴趣，特别是学生。
