Person must be included in the wider production effort at each stage of the creative process.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\">Education and awareness of sustainability, use of trackers and carbon calculator, their importance facilitated, and time for this specifically scheduled in as standard.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\">Use digital systems and displays for communications and information sharing where possible if a carbon saving can be ensured. (Invest in developing digital skillsets.)<\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\">Production schedules and changes to be approved by WHAM with a sustainability mindset as primary influence.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\">Sustainability successes, challenges and objectives included in post-production reviews.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\">Objectives to be SMART = Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-Bound.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\">Statistics to be included in show bibles and contributed to production reports and information used for revivals and co-productions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>DESIGN (Creation)<\/h3>\n<ol class=\"ol2\">\n<li class=\"li3\">WHAM team to be included in the early conversations and decisions of the creative process in order to have real and meaningful sustainable impact.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\">Whilst our work allows us to be immediately responsive to design changes during the rehearsal process, producers, designers and directors need to collaborate effectivel. (In most cases a WHAM team can provide insight on what changes would be possible without impacting sustainability. Our work can remain fluid and is live throughout the lifecycle of a production.)<\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\">WHAM Designers to start their creative process by looking at resources are already in stock and how\/if they could be included in the production realisation and thus reduce purchasing or making anew.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>MATERIALS (Source)<\/h3>\n<ol class=\"ol2\">\n<li class=\"li3\">Choose natural products where possible. The hierarchy of needs for our product choices can be driven by many elements including speed, strength, texture, colour, effectiveness, hygiene, and compatibility<\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\">Ethical considerations also concern animal cruelty-free choices, especially for cosmetics and hair products.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\">Opt for professional make-up brands with refillable palletes and refillable products over fashion make-up brands as they often place more emphasis on trendy branding and have more packaging for presentation and marketability purposes<\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\">Buy bulk and de-pot into biodegradable or environmentally friendly reusable containers where possible.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\">Most make-up products are consumables and consideration for use-by-date due to skin and hygiene concerns must be included. Often \u2018just-in-time\u2019 shopping, rather than bulk buying stock is preferable for freshness.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\">Use products made with recyclable\/biodegradable or without unnecessary packaging.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\">Choose suppliers who use recycled packaging and ethical postal services where possible. (Encourage industry partners\/suppliers to change their practices if they are not already doing so.)<\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\">When considering sponsorships, investigate and consider the sponsor\u2019s sustainability credits and their products\u2019 performance in regards to this.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\">Collaborate with other departments for reuse\/exchange of materials; could be facilitated via a digital space where offers and requests can be actively communicated internally.<em style=\"font-size: 18px;\">For example: used cotton t-shirts from the costume department may be ideal for use as rag in the workshops, or small material offcuts from the props store may be useful for the creation of headdresses, or old tights can be washed and used as pads to glue wigs on with.<\/em><em style=\"font-size: 18px;\"><\/em><\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\">A well-balanced stock of wigs and hair pieces is a truly sustainable asset, as it can be infinitely reused, restyled, and repaired.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\">Digital wigs and hair stock cataloguing systems should be kept and constantly updated to maximise use of items already in existence.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\">Interconnected wig hire\/exchange systems through organisations such as Opera Europa could be useful. However, this can present additional workload and logistics challenges.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\">For co-productions it would always be useful to be included in the producers\u2019 conversations around the hire of wigs and related contractual agreements.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\">Wigs and make-up work may need to be adapted in terms of material choices when a production is filmed or broadcast. Early conversations with the WHAM team are essential in addressing sustainability factors and efficiencies.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\">For touring or performances in external venues, liaise with producers to negotiate use of already present kit and equipment to be accessible for use, so as to reduce use of transport.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"p5\">Material principles to consider:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span class=\"s1\"><\/span>Cruelty free, vegan<\/li>\n<li><span class=\"s1\"><\/span>Made with eco-friendly natural ingredients<\/li>\n<li><span class=\"s1\"><\/span>Biodegradable, non-toxic<\/li>\n<li><span class=\"s1\"><\/span>Locally made<\/li>\n<li><span class=\"s1\"><\/span>Locally shopped<\/li>\n<li><span class=\"s1\"><\/span>Hand made<\/li>\n<li><span class=\"s1\"><\/span>No unnecessary (recyclable) packaging for transit or presentation<\/li>\n<li><span class=\"s1\"><\/span>Refillable<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>TOOLS &amp; PROCESSES (Usage)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<ol class=\"ol2\">\n<li class=\"li3\">Concious efficiency and effectiveness in our practice go a long way in reducing waste.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\">Waste separation\/disposal for consumables in all workshop and production settings (for example including quick change booths on stage).<\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\">Hazardous waste minimised and disposed of responsibly<\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\">Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) to be filtration-based instead of disposal-to-atmosphere system.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\">Prosthetics and special effects such as bald caps are not yet replaceable with eco-friendly materials; this is an area that is transitioning towards digital making practices that can contribute towards the transformation of how work is made. It is important that WHAM colleagues are given access and support in being at the forefront of digital innovations, as it is not always part of our core skillsets.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\">Where possible choose eco-friendly construction and materials and keep abreast of developments across the industry.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\">Prioritise use of eco-friendly stationary.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\">Using suitable well-built shelving and wood, metal, or cardboard as material for storage systems instead of plastics which can easily break and add to departmental waste. (When designing new spaces, choose quality over quantity and do so with longevity in mind.)<\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\">Flight cases and make-up bags to be well built and purchased with longevity in mind; avoid single-use plastic if possible.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\">Develop a clear and easily followed in-house framework of practice that can be passed on to freelance crew when they are hired in.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> Good practice will spread over time.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\">Electrical equipment to be on timers and sensors where possible, as well as new kit purchases to consider energy efficiency.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\">Strive to maintain and repair equipment, fittings and furniture where feasible.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\">If PAT testing shows a fail, seek help from electrical department or equipment makers to repair as identified.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\">Liaise with other technical departments on disposal and recycling of e-waste<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3 class=\"p3\">Resources:<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p3\">ABTT WHAM <a href=\"https:\/\/linktr.ee\/abttwham\"><span class=\"s2\">Linktree<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.theatregreenbook.nl\/sustainableproductions-toolkit\/&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Back to The Toolkit&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Theatre Green Book PRODUCTIONS Toolkit &#8211; Wigs, Hair and Make-up (WHAM) &nbsp; Wigs, Hair and Make-up With thanks to Anette Ollerearnshaw and the ABTT Wigs, Hair and Make-up GroupKEY PRINCIPLES (Drive) Sustainability ethos and ambitions to be embedded into all creative and technical processes: Foreground and focus on the rich contribution of our specialists Innovate [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1121,"featured_media":0,"parent":327,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","iawp_total_views":0,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-778","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theatregreenbook.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/778","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theatregreenbook.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theatregreenbook.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theatregreenbook.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1121"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theatregreenbook.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=778"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/www.theatregreenbook.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/778\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":249899,"href":"https:\/\/www.theatregreenbook.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/778\/revisions\/249899"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theatregreenbook.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/327"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theatregreenbook.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=778"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
