Sustainable Design for Community Theatre: Panel Discussion

How can community theatre embrace sustainable design practices while continuing to create inspiring performances and engaging audience experiences?

Join us for an insightful and practical conversation exploring sustainability in community theatre. Bringing together industry leaders and local theatre practitioners, this panel discussion will examine how thoughtful design choices, resource sharing, material reuse, and environmentally conscious thinking can help reduce the environmental impact of productions.

Hear from representatives from Blink Dance Theatre, GSODA (Geelong Society of Dramatic Arts), Lighthouse Theatre Warrnambool, and Skin of Our Teeth Productions as they share their experiences, challenges, and successes in implementing sustainable approaches to set design, costumes, props, production planning, and creative practice.

Facilitated by Amanda La Bonte, the session will encourage open discussion and audience participation, creating opportunities to exchange ideas, ask questions, and build connections across the regional performing arts sector.

Whether you're a designer, director, maker, volunteer, theatre practitioner, or simply interested in sustainable creative practice, this event offers valuable insights and practical inspiration for creating a more environmentally responsible future for community theatre.

Community theatre groups, arts organisations, and creative practitioners are warmly welcome.

Come along, share your experiences, and be part of the conversation shaping a more sustainable future for theatre in our region.
