Climate Theatre Workshop: How have climate and environmental plays changed over time
Part of Climate Change Theatre Action’s Fringe Programme
Friday 8th August 4-6pm | Venue 13
£12
Join Wise Ram Theatre, the Carbon Literacy Project and Theatre Green Book for this fun, friendly and welcoming session exploring the climate crisis and theatre’s response to it. Using a selection of Climate Change Theatre Action’s short plays from the last ten years, we will explore how writing and staging plays about the climate crisis and environment have changed over time. We will include readings of the CCTA plays, and then explore together the themes through interactive activities, exploring both the creative challenge of staging the climate crisis as well as practical steps theatre makers can take to make their productions greener.
The space will be relaxed and explorative so don’t worry if you’ve never engaged in climate change plays or dramaturgy before. The workshop is suitable for anyone working in theatre and the creative arts in any role, as well as those pursuing it as a hobby, a climate activist, student or who are just interested in exploring climate change through theatre! We will include time at the end for the chance to get (an optional) drink or ice cream, and to chat and network further.
