GEI16 | Greening the Stage

Moderator: John Robb (Louder Than War)
Speakers: Carol Scott (TAIT), Pauline Bourdon (Team Love / Soliphilia), Zarya Vrabcheva (Stufish Entertainment Architects)
What do we have in our toolbox today to design stages that mitigate the use of virgin materials, reduce emissions, and start working to the circular economy? What are the pinch points that hold us back and how do we overcome them? What are the new technologies and materials that we should explore and research to help green our stages? Our expert panel includes world-leading stage, set, automation designers, builders and architects who have created stages for the likes of Madonna, Beyoncé, Adele, Stormzy, U2, Formula 1, and Warner Bros, to name a few, who will explore the use of innovative Mycelium in a creative build at Silver Hayes (Glastonbury Festival) and seen at Forwards Festival last summer.
