Description

Sustainable Theatre: Theory, Context, Practice by Iphigenia Taxopoulou is a comprehensive account of the performing arts sector's response to the climate and environmental crisis. This book brings together information, knowledge, and expertise from theatre professionals, practitioners, and organizations to guide readers towards sustainable thinking and practice. The book features inspiring case studies and interviews with pioneering institutions and individual practitioners who have given shape to 'sustainable theatre'. Spanning almost three decades, it approaches the topic from multiple angles and through an international perspective. Climate and environmental concerns are explored in cultural policy, arts leadership, organizational ethics, infrastructure, daily operations, theatre-making practice, performing arts education, and touring practices. The book investigates how the climate crisis influences theatre as a story-teller - on stage and beyond. With its unique blend of theory, context, and practical advice, Sustainable Theatre is an essential resource for anyone working in or interested in the performing arts sector.
