16:10 Towards Eco-design

Soutra Gilmour, Set and Costume Designer

Adapting design approaches and aesthetics to environmental challenges will require a shift in mind set and practice, but also the development of new relationships with environmentally conscious suppliers. Soutra will set out her manifesto for eco design, which underpins all of her work, and speak about how she is addressing sustainability practically and aesthetically.

16:20 Sustainable Festival Management

Laura Pando, Sustainability Manager Festival Republic

Festival Republic organise some of the UK’s best-loved boutique and large-scale festival events. Following success in achieving a 3 star Industry Green certification for Reading and Latitude Festivals in 2012, sustainability coordinator Laura Pando shares her experience and learning on what they’ve done to reduce emissions, save money, and engage audiences in more sustainable choices.

16:30 Kinetic Energy: Integrating Power and Performance

Lucy Doherty, Milk Presents Theatre Company

For the last three years Milk Presents have powered their fringe theatre productions using simple, homemade bicycle generators. Their choice was driven by an aesthetic, rather than environmental, purpose but has led them to consider the sustainability of their productions more broadly.
