Two people, a ton of creativity, unbelievable talent, educable children and youth, an atmosphere of change and fun, whatever theater is at hand, mix it up with some more people with skills in various areas, and you get DREAMRIDER PRODUCTIONS. With a home base in Port Moody, British Columbia, Canada, Vanessa LeBourdais and Ian Gschwind, both experienced in youth engagement, produce and act in theatre and multimedia events that educate and inspire youth on environmental issues.



Over the course of a single year, DreamRider Productions presents creative programs for more than 70,000 children in over 300 schools each year. And you can always tell a program has been presented because of the many children singing the tunes they sang along
with during a production. According to Christiane Wilhelmson Executive Director of the Georgia Strait Alliance, "DreamRider's work to engage with young people throughout the region is critical to raising environmental literacy throughout our communities - we simply love that they do it in such a fun and creative way."

In addition to producing live plays, DreamRider has put together an online educational experiential game, The Planet Protector Academy. Made specifically for children in grades 3 to 6, the game/experience is linked with the curriculum and engages children in helping communities reach their climate, energy, and transportation goals. It is a plug and play program, so it is easy to set up for teachers and it utilizes students' collaborative, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills. Grade 4 and 5 Teacher Shane Hipwell, from Dormick Park Elementary, commented, "The kids felt they owned this program, that they're actually real life planet protectors."

Just last month, DreamRider Productions put out a music video, The Song of Stuff, based on a well-known video, The Story of Stuff. Vanessa LeBourdais did the singing and also provided the lyrics and composing, besides directing and producing. It features the animation talents of Michael A Mann. Ian Gschwind and Sara Holt put in cameo appearances. Tim Porter provided musicianship on the guitar. Videographer Jan Klompje recorded the video. With easy-to-remember lyrics, catchy and danceable music, and colorful images, this video is sure to engage the children who watch and listen to it.
