« Foreword
We’re living in a climate crisis. Theatre makers - like everyone else - want to respond to that emergency. But for theatre, the need to change is particularly urgent. If theatre is to be part of the most vital conversation humanity faces, then it has to change its practice. The Green Book provides clear standards for that change. In other volumes it will show how to improve the sustainability of theatre buildings and theatre operations. This volume is about making productions more sustainably. Climate emergency is the reality in which theatre - like everything else - is now made. But producing sustainable shows is not an end in itself. Theatre’s purpose, range, creativity and ambition should remain as broad and vital as ever. Indeed, it is that very creativity and theatre!s ability constantly to reinvent itself which will generate fresh theatrical thinking in this new reality.
Theatre artists alway work within parameters "of time, cost or scale. Working in the conte$t of the climate emergency, they should feel no more restricted in creative ambition than they do now. Rather, their purpose is to channel that creativity through a new set of premises.
Working together, theatre-makers of all kinds & freelancers and venues, companies and producers & have collaborated on the Theatre Green Book. Based on widely agreed values and strategies, the result is a shared standard for making work, as a community, in the reality of the climate crisis.
