Ecostage is an initiative founded by industry professionals to share practical and creative approaches to green up the performing arts sector. A catalyst for individual and collective transformation, it provides a framework, drawn from our Seven Ecostage Principles of ecological thinking, for sustainability, wellbeing and creativity.

A roadmap for everyone at all stages of their eco-journey, providing multiple routes for change-making, Ecostage offers talks, educational workshops and an education pack, along with abdunant free guides, case studies and resources available to all on the website.

Get in touch to discuss how we can work with you, your project, your group or your organisation.

If you are a practitioner, please consider joining the global Ecostage Community to share your knowledge and case studies, and celebrate the aesthetic range and diversity of sustainably produced work. All welcome!

On the site there is an option to pledge to our Seven Ecostage Principles and help generate momentum for sector-wide transformation. View the pledge here:

• To cultivate a holistic approach to making and sharing work that recognises the interconnectivity between creativity, ecology, sustainability, activism and well-being.
• To provide a practical, accessible educational offer for practioners, students and the public.
• To be responsive, engaging and relevant in our advocacy and activism, remaining alive to feedback, change and growth.

‘[Ecostage] reframes sustainable practice in the theatre to highlight what it is in the first place: a question of principles.’ – Sustainable Theatre, Iphigenia Taxopoulou, Methuen Drama 2023
