Greetings from JP!
It's July already, the month of holidays and vacations. Happy Summer and stay hydrated!
MONTHLY FEATURE
Did you know that there’s a global movement called Plastic Free July? It helps millions of people be part of the solution to plastic pollution so we can have cleaner streets, oceans, and beautiful communities.
Even in the theater scene, we can do our part in reducing trash and making more sustainable productions. Maybe you’ve noticed that some costumes, set pieces, or props get thrown out after a production. But there’s a less wasteful way to do things.
The folks at the collective initiative Theatre Green Book have created a framework for theaters interested in making their theater group and shows more sustainable. Some examples include learning where to resource your costume pieces from and planning what to do with the set pieces after a production.
They have various resources on their website, including guidance books and case studies. Moreover, they’re geared towards organizations with all levels of readiness. Whether you’re just trying to find ideas to make your next production more ecologically mindful, or you’re ready to fully commit to their proposed principles, they have resources for you to dive into.
Let’s do our part in making our lives, both on stage and off, more attuned to the world we live in.
