Mentioned in Creative Scotland Environmental and Sustainability Review

Mention of work as Sustainability Collaborator included in Creative Scotland Environmental and Sustainability Review, work on Penny Chivas Project funded through Creative Scotland’s Touring Fund for Theatre and Dance in Autumn 2023.

"Penny worked with independent producer and sustainability planner Katy Dye to embed a low- carbon model into the tour. An environment and sustainability policy outlined Penny’s commitment to making the production and tour as sustainable as possible. All levels of delivery from creative development to rehearsals, performances, venue selection, partnerships, touring, marketing, and administration were informed by advice from The Theatre Green Book, Equity’s Green New Deal, Julie’s Bicycle and Creative Carbon Scotland.

Katy provided advice and support throughout the tour and on its completion carried out an evaluation with content that reaches beyond that currently required of Creative Scotland’s project evaluation. Shaped by contributions from the whole creativeteam the evaluation measured the success and lessons learnt from touring small scale performances across Scotland. Data and feedback on the impact of the use of public transport, technical/production decisions, sustainability of venues and partnering organisations, marketing and being green on tour were reflected upon and will shape future project delivery and touring"
