How can we create theater productions that are both artistically ambitious and take sustainability into account? And how can we focus on creating safe, constructive evaluation and implementation processes that ensure that knowledge and learning are anchored in the organisation?
Based on the Theatre Green Book Accelerator program, this course zooms in on some key focus areas that are often deprioritised in a production or artistic project, namely evaluation (including feedback), implementation, and anchoring.
How do we create a culture where evaluation and feedback are prioritised and where creative, technical, and organisational experiences are translated into concrete improvements that ensure that knowledge and experience are anchored in one's work and in one's organisation?
Content from HAUT and the Royal Danish Theatre
We have invited HAUT's artistic director, Alex Blum, who will share experiences from her artistic processes. Based on the newly published book A Queer Feedback Handbook, we will be guided through somatic exercises that sharpen our awareness of our own and others' needs when giving or receiving feedback – as if it were a loving touch.
In addition, we will gain special insight into the Royal Danish Theatre's production model, presented by producer Mikkel Rubæk. This production model aims to create greater flexibility in relation to working with sustainability, as well as to strengthen internal and external collaboration in order to support sustainable development across the theatre's productions.
