While fashion, craft and design have had years-long conversations about sustainable and green practices, Australian performing arts have lagged behind their international peers. The Australian Research Council (ARC) has funded a multi-year project to transition the performing arts to ecologically sustainable practice. The project begins with an industry-wide survey to better understand the national industry.
Over the next three years, international researchers from the newly formed Performance + Ecology Research Lab (P+ERL), part of the Creative Arts Research Institute (CARI) at Griffith University, will work with industry partner PAC Australia and sustainability consultancy One Stone Advisors to accelerate meaningful climate action in the arts.
