Fri 20 October 2023 - Aberystwyth Arts Centre

Join us for a discussion on how the Welsh theatre industry is responding to the climate emergency.

The climate crisis is the context in which we’re now making work. We can't change that. But we can change how we make that work and what the work is. The industry is an ecosystem, connected at multiple points. By working together and learning from each other, Wales can set the bar of best practice.

Join us at Aberystwyth Arts Centre to continue that journey. Listen to stories of successes and failures, progress and challenges, and share your own thoughts and ideas of making theatre while keeping sustainability at the heart. 

 

What to expect

The day will be split into four parts. Twelve speakers who have expertise or experience in their fields will give brief talks to stimulate conversation and answer questions. The rest is up to you.

You can tell us about your victories, ‘green’ decisions that have worked, reusing sets, reducing transport, or switching to LEDs. You can also tell us about things that have not gone so well…

You’ll be seated at round tables to ease conversation and encourage engagement. By the end of the day, we hope to have at least shared some ideas that will be useful and that you can take back and incorporate into your work.
