The new Ecostage website is taking shape but we need a little funding boost to get us to the launch. We are grateful for any contribution you can make to our crowdfunder. Or if you know of any funding bodies that can help us, please get in touch. Donate: crowdfunder.co.uk/ecostage
Members of the SBTD's Sustainable Design Group have shared their new year's resolutions for greener theatre design. Lots of great, very achievable ideas... including one that makes us particularly happy! Take a look!
Our brilliant sustainability working group have come up with 15 simple things we can do to make our design practise kinder to the planet, and because creativity waits for no pandemic, there's even a beautiful illustrated video to boot. 💚💚💚 theatredesign.org.uk/blog/ne…
