Welcome to our temporary site for Performing Arts Global Voices, which will be shown in the Eco-lounge at World Stage Design 2022 in Calgary. We hope you enjoy the material drawn from a wide variety of arts practitioners.
How the archive started
In 2021, Ecostage and the Society of British Theatre Designers put out a call to people in the performing arts to share videos that reflect their response to the climate emergency. The initial inspiration for this was the development of the SBTD’s carbon literacy training course, which will be piloted towards the end of 2022. As we were building the course, we realised there wasn’t much evidence of how theatre-makers and others were engaging with the climate emergency, and this inspired the idea for the archive.
The project has grown immensely since then. Some material will still be used for the carbon literacy programme. Some films from the archive were featured at CCA Glasgow, at Ecostage’s launch at the COP26 People’s Summit, and we will continue to look for other opportunities to show them.
It’s an ongoing project – if you have something to add we’d love to hear from you! Details are here.
The archive will soon be hosted on the Ecostage site. Our apologies for the adverts in the meantime!
Thank you to everyone who has submitted work so far!
