Please note that this is an on-going project.
Project Description
The Performance + Ecology Research Lab (P+ERL) is an initiative dedicated to furthering climate justice across all aspects of contemporary theatre-making and building sustainable futures in and beyond the performing arts.
Project Personnel and Beneficiaries
We collaborate with a diverse range of stakeholders — creatives, scientists, educators, activists and community groups, as well as commercial, industry and government organisations — with the aim of supporting cultural policy and creative practice that responds to the global environmental crisis.
Outcomes to Date
The Culture for Climate Report is a preliminary study into how Australian performing arts organisations are responding to the global environmental crises through sustainability strategies, programming practices and policies.
Project Significance
Our work is embedded in ecocritical and transdisciplinary research, and investigates ideas of performance and performativity in a climate-changed world. Further, we are interested in addressing the challenges of cultural and corporate sustainability.
