Who is it for
Are you struggling to envisage how to make your new show environmentally sustainable? Do you want dedicated, guided time and space to unpack and demystify ways to reduce your carbon impact?
This is an in-depth workshop for theatre makers looking to create work which minimises their carbon impact whilst remaining creatively ambitious.
Using a timeline template, we share practical skills and delve deep into the production process and interrogate, imagine & explore ways in which we can reform & rethink our making processes to ensure environmental sustainability.
This full day workshop is for theatre-makers of all disciplines looking to plot and plan ways in which they can practically improve the sustainability of their work.
