AAPPAC Session 3

How can the gap between sustainability concepts and reality be bridged? How can a vision for sustainability be implemented? How can sustainability be promoted within venue operations and management? How can performing arts groups take green action?

This year, AAPPAC Conference attendees can engage in a creative, organic, and thought-provoking sustainability roundtable. Participants from different countries in the Asia-Pacific region, working in different roles in the arts and cultural industries, including sustainable policy advocates, venue operators, artists, performing arts group decision-makers, agents, and producers, share their experience and carry out exchanges. Dialogue is initiated from different aspects, for example, how sustainability advocates develop objectives based on differences in sustainability policies across countries and regions, how venue operators review carbon inventories and promote green performances, how performing arts groups implement green production practices, and how performing arts program producers work with venues in different countries and regions to promote sustainable green action. 

In addition to sustainability values and vision, participants learn how accessible theater green action is implemented in different cultural contexts. Through mutual observation, there can be progress toward a sustainable future and making the world a better place.
