Fringe Festival Award for Sustainable Production

CLICK HERE TO GO TO THE 2013 EDINBURGH FESTIVAL FRINGE QUESTIONNAIRE


Applications are now opened for consideration for the 2013 Fringe Sustainable Production Award, designed to reward sustainable practice in the production of an Edinburgh Festival Fringe show. Productions are invited to engage their audiences with sustainability, take responsibility for their environmental impacts, and think big about how the arts can help to grow a sustainable world. Entries are invited from companies until 18 August, with shortlists announced on 5, 12 & 19 August and the final award being made on Friday 23 August in a ceremony at Fringe Central.

The award was created in 2010 by the CSPA Directors, Ian Garrett and Miranda Wright, along with a number of CSPA affiliates. It looks at public communication and education, resource use and transportation in support of presenting a fringe show based on methodology developed by the CSPA itself and San Diego’s Mo’olelo Performing Arts Company, who has created a comprehensive Green Theater Choices Toolkit with a generous grant from the Theater Communications Group.

To be considered for the award, a production fills out an online questionnaire. Questions range from an inventory of materials used to what public transportation lines run close to venues to how themes about sustainability are addressed in their shows. Because venues vary so greatly, various sections may not be included in a single evaluation to provide equal footing for the shows on a case by case basis. Shows are encouraged, but not required to provide a CSPA affiliate with tickets to their production to allow a trained eye to look at shows and projects as they exist in the real world.

Also, please note that some vocabulary and notations may vary from the US to the UK in regards to the guides and metrics which we use. With many thanks to Ecovenue and the Theatres Trust, especially Mhora Samuel and Tim Atkinson, please refer to our glossary HERE.
