Sustainable Statement

Some of the things we are doing to reduce our carbon footprint:

  1. Use a lot of recycled, repurposed and donated materials when creating our sets, puppets and props
  2. Create the majority of our costumes from clothes found in second hand / charity shops, banning the use of fast fashion in costume designs
  3. We plan to retour our shows and experiences, with all set and props kept in storage, so that very little that is created goes to waste
  4. For our new show, currently in creation, we are working towards the standards outlined in the Theatre Green Book, an industry standard for making sustainable theatre.
  5. Send documents both to our own team and those at our tour venues electronically, rather than in print form, but trying to keep email communications minimal to reduce our digital carbon footprint
  6. Offer venue marketing teams reduced print orders and increased digital marketing assets
  7. Hold the majority of meetings virtually to reduce travel impact
  8. Considering lighting designs that have LED lights, and using rechargeable batteries for props
  9. Decreasing our dependence on cheap next day delivery services, particularly during production periods
  10. Educating our audiences about environmental issues
