Theater Making in the Age of Climate Change

Theater Making in the Age of Climate Change will investigate how the performing arts sector in France and Europe transitions towards a more sustainable future, and how contemporary playwrights tackle this urgent topic. The performing arts are now becoming more sensitized to their carbon footprint and are making efforts to change their practices. We will discover new works as French and European stages are producing an increasing number of plays on climate change. During fall break, we will travel to France to gain first-hand experience of these timely initiatives and engage with organizations' officials and arts institutions' directors.
