They aim to be an open, ever evolving, growing community, supporting ways of coming together and connecting and taking action for theatre as we navigate ourselves through these stormy waters. It's a place for all: at its heart, set and costume designers (both established and emerging) associates, assistants. And a place for freelance creatives within the industry to join us in dialogue and unity. 17:56:23 From Kit Lane To All Panelists : The East Midlands Production Managers Forum (pre-cursor to PMF) was used as a 'swap shop' for set around the region. 17:56:49 From Elysia Moore : Find out more here: https://www.scene-change.com/missing-live-theatre 17:56:53 From John Sullivan To All Panelists : With reference to Jon's point about how a company could begin to calculate its footprint, the TV and Film industry created Albert system might be a place to start? https://wearealbert.org/production-handbook/ 17:57:12 From Kit Lane To All Panelists : When rep theatres had permanent SM teams, there was much more inter-theatre loaning of props. 17:57:58 From Elysia Moore : We've had some great messages ad suggestions including: The East Midlands Production Managers Forum (pre-cursor to PMF) previously being used as a 'swap shop' for set around the region. 17:58:22 From Elysia Moore : With reference to Jon's point about how a company could begin to calculate its footprint, the TV and Film industry created Albert system might be a place to start? https://wearealbert.org/production-handbook/ 17:59:09 From Sebastian Barnes To All Panelists : Brilliant webinar.

Awesome words 17:59:57 From Elysia Moore : The ABTT has been collating resources on Sustainability here: https://www.abtt.org.uk/resources-guidance/industry-resources/sustainability/ 18:00:37 From Elysia Moore : Next we are hearing from Ian Garrett. Ian designer, producer, educator, and researcher in the field of sustainability in arts and culture. He is the director of the Centre for Sustainable Practice in the Arts; Associate Professor of Ecological Design for Performance at York University; and Producer for Toasterlab 18:00:52 From Phil : Re Jon’s recycling idea. He mentioned “decks” - ie modular staging systems. In the past 30 years these have already transformed the previously wooden stages (often single use or with a short life) into a resource which is almost everlasting AND adds to the versatility of spaces. Modular staging is very “belt and braces” compared with much LX and audio kit but it does show that this can be done. Like here www.stage-tiers.co.uk 18:01:27 From Kit Lane To All Panelists : A caveat to my comment on sharing set items. We all had an in-house workshop and set store at the time with staff that had an intimate knowledge of what we had. 18:04:14 From Elysia Moore To All Panelists : If anyone is able to begin answering questions on the Q&A Function that would be great! 18:04:49 From Elysia Moore : A number of questions have been asked an answered by our panellists so far. These can be found below: 18:04:56 From Elysia Moore : How far out to you anticipate booking the tour to allow for the coming together of all the new logistics? Chris Jones 05:45 PM We don't know this yet. At this stage we are looking to quantify the carbon benefits of doing it, how this is done is something the industry needs to provide an answer to. 18:05:12 From Elysia Moore : Is there a future in developing and using electric vehicles for live music touring? (yes, I own an EV) Chris Jones 05:44 PM EV is currently restricted to lower weight vehicles (e.g. passenger vehicles). Larger electric vehicles are coming on to the market along with hydrogen powered vehicles as a replacement to petrol and deisel. Trains offer a great solution in most locations already. 18:05:21 From Lily : https://www.greenclover.com/ - similar to set exchange! 18:05:45 From Elysia Moore : Thanks Lily! 18:05:55 From Elysia Moore : Where could I find a comparison of the ecological effects of different lighting fixtures? Chris Jones 05:41 PM Hi will, i don't know of particular resources on lighting fixtures, but direct comparison of lumens per watt and life time of lighting options are a great indicator. LEDs typically perform really well on these measures. 18:06:28 From Elysia Moore : Any examples/ideas of how to engage audience in different travel? Ian Garrett 05:40 PM I’ll talk a bit about a project we (The Centre for Sustainable Practrice in the Arts) did with the Hillside Festival in Guelph Ontario. We identified that audience travel was the most important aspect of reduction and worked with regional transit partners, carpooling incentives, shuttle buses with transit access, bike parking, and last offsets. Chris Jones 05:45 PM We have seen examples of venues offering ticket offers linked to attendees using public transit, e.g. Sage Gateshead. More examples are welcome! 18:08:22 From David Evans : The festival sector has been very active in promoting sustainability, - lots of transport offers 18:10:20 From Ian Frampton : The Croissant-Neuf stage at Glastonbury is a good example: https://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/areas/the-green-fields/croissant-neuf/ 18:12:32 From Elysia Moore : Ian Garret's company, Toasterlab creates place-based extended reality experiences that promote deeper engagement with history, community, and imagination. Toasterlab combines expertise in storytelling, theatrical and media production, and the development of new technology to produce both original work and partnerships. 18:12:49 From Elysia Moore : http://toasterlab.com/about/ 18:14:02 From Elysia Moore : The Centre for Sustainable Practice in the Arts is a Think Tank for Sustainability in the Arts and Culture which might be useful as a resource 18:14:11 From Elysia Moore : http://www.sustainablepractice.org/  18:14:33 From Elysia Moore : You can also find out more about Ian Garrett and his work here: http://www.ianpgarrett.com/ 18:15:00 From Elysia Moore : Our next speaker is Spike Brant - CEO of Nimblist and a designer and advocator of sustainability; 18:15:11 From Elysia Moore : Nimblist are a diverse group of creatives focused on preserving the true spirit and motivation behind your wildest ideas.

How can we encourage people to change the way they work without overwhelming them? Jon Bausor 06:12 PM i think its about reframing the challenge as a creative one, much as we approach budget and health and safety Lily. Also making the public aware of its value andgiving tehm and insight into the process. Ian Garrett 06:19 PM I’d add, early agreement that this is a value you’re working to honour. So that it’s part of the process and at least a question all along the way. So it’s not a question at the presentation of build documents, or even the final design drafts… that the first conversations it’s an an agreement amongest everyone that it’s a priority. You’re not trying to add it on. So it’s not able requiring someone to do something, but it is making sure they’re asking/answering the question and it’s not a challenge to say that someone’s process is incorrect, but that it’s about asking them and empowering them to be better. 18:21:08 From Elysia Moore To All Panelists : 10 minutes left everybody 18:22:42 From Robin from Ergon : Sorry to have to leave early (another appointment) but thank you so much to all and we look forward to watching the recording back! big love to all from Ergon Theatre Company. we’d love to connect with anyone here - ergontheatrecompany@gmail.com 18:23:40 From Elysia Moore : Thank you. Glad you enjoyed! Keep in contact :) 18:24:44 From Jon Bausor : Totally agree Spike. Better work most often comes out of smaller budgeting. 18:24:52 From Elysia Moore : How to have a talk with other colaborators about wanting to adopt sustainable practices for the production? David Evans 06:21 PM This is part of the objective of SiPA - http://www.sipa.org.uk/. the website is being remade to facilitate exactly that. 18:25:02 From Elysia Moore To All Panelists : five minutes guys 18:25:22 From Michael Donoghue To All Panelists : Cutting trucks is great but, over filling them gets dangerous for crew... 18:26:04 From Elysia Moore : So does a big budget lead to being unsustainable? Jon Bausor 06:23 PM often yes, I would say Jess, but its obviously gettting better. I think Ian’s points about the analysis between consumption of energy by a large audience in their homes as opposed to all being in one place sharing one resource. 18:27:19 From Jon Bausor : ….is interesting! 18:27:45 From Natasha Pater : Incredible insight!
