Its caption begins: Few of those who visit Drury Lane Theatre, whether it be for drama or, as at the present season, for pantomime, realise what a hive of industry and ingenuity such a place is, the enormous number of details that have to be considered, the great organising powers that are called into play. Few imagine, further, that behind the curtain there is at least as much space as there is before it, and that though that space is obviously large, every corner of it is a scene of much work ...

  • ISPA International Society for the Performing Arts
    International Society for the ISPA Performing Arts TODAY’S FUTURE FOR THE ARTS NEW YORK CONGRESS JANUARY 8–10, 2019 Theatre buildings by theatre people for theatre people. Clockwise from top left: Linbury Theatre, Royal Opera House; The Yard at Chicago Shakespeare Theater; Hudson Theatre, Broadway; Studio Theatre, Bristol Old Vic. MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR OF ISPA Dear Friends, ransitions. We all think about them. Some of us worry about them. But we are all impacted by them. As much as we may try to be present each moment of our days, it is the rare person who does not ponder what comes next. Transitions can be as exhilarating as they are scary. In these times of rapid-fire change and volatility (mostly beyond our personal control), it is Teasy to default to a position of wanting to hang on to what we know. Stay the course. Be steady. Reduce risk. WELCOME Yet continuing to do the same thing that works for us today may be the very act that fails us tomorrow. Our Congress Co-chairs Collette Brennan and Steinunn Ragnarsdóttir have given us a brilliantly provocative theme to consider with an array of thought-leaders from within our field and beyond offering varied perspectives on how we might navigate the inevitability of the transitions we encounter. For me, transitions is a particularly apt theme as I prepare to pass on the chairmanship of ISPA to our colleague Tisa Ho. As an ISPA member for 20 years and board member for most of that time, I have been fortunate to work with so many gifted members who have given selflessly in leading ISPA through incredible Transitions.

    Introduction to Ecovenue Ecovenue is a signifi cant theatre-specifi c environmental project being run by The Theatres Trust. It aims to improve the environmental performance of forty-eight London theatres and raise awareness of how to make theatres greener. Ecovenue is promoting the sustainability of theatres and the reduction of carbon emissions through the provision of free theatre-specifi c, environmental advice. The project started in 2009 and runs until 2012. Forty-eight venues each undergo an Environmental Audit, and receive a Display Energy Certifi cate (DEC) and Advisory Report. They track their energy use through SMEasure. Each venue receives a second DEC a year after their fi rst to measure progress. Ecovenue includes a ‘DEC Pool’ of performing arts venues across the UK that have obtained DECs. The DEC Pool helps us to evaluate the project and share best practice and information, establish meaningful benchmarks, and provide a better understanding of energy use of theatres. Any theatre can join the DEC Pool. The Trust’s Theatres Magazine provides quarterly reports on the participants and the work of the Ecovenue project.
