Episode Summary

Join us for a discussion of the emerging concept and practice of Ecoscenography (ecological design for performance).

A group of international practitioners share their insights, strategies and favourite projects as we examine what Ecoscenography means for our field, including the challenges and opportunities that an ecological approach to theatre production brings.
