EDN: Environmental Sustainability in Contemporary Dance
European Dancehouse Network developed a report examining the relationship between environmental sustainability and contemporary dance, with a particular focus on the role of dance production centres. The report explores 6 key thematic areas:
Sustainability narratives and themes in contemporary dance
Approaches to creation, production and presentation
Mobility
Transforming organisations to respond to environmental sustainability
Partnerships and community relations
Policies and support
The report is very detailed and explores different ways of working. The reference list too is useful for further reading.
