To do now
9. Planning
• Planning Tour
– Use IG Tools to map out scenarios
– Rationalising routes, making them most distance efficient
– Research venues with a commitment to environmental
sustainability (or ask them)
– Use digital comms. e.g. Skype to communicate with
partners before tour
– If you do travel, try and maximize your impact in that area
by putting on more shows
– Set commitments
– Consider Live broadcasts
– Work with touring consortiums to increase collaboration
11. On Tour
• Transport, Advocacy and Set Design
– Green hotels, or encourage people to use
family/friends
– Design shows to take up minimal transport space
– Advocacy with green riders
– Sustainable forms of transport
– Challenge exclusion zones
14. On Tour Innovations in set
design
• Depending on scale, having sets built on site might be a
better option
• Can reduce set sizes considerably in order to reduce the
impact of transporting
15. Office Too
• Probably already using IG Tools
• Also have resources relating to
reducing impacts at home
18. Any questions?
• Reporting deadline 30th May 2014
• Allow 4 – 6 weeks for reporting cycle
