Voices from across the theatre landscape will discuss what’s working, what isn’t, and how we can continue to change together.
The day will feature panels on artistic opportunity and provocation, production practice and data, product presentations from innovative suppliers, and reflections on using the Theatre Green Book and other global initiatives. It is a space to make connections, share ideas and think outside the box.
This is a free event, registration is required.
