To do now
Planning• Planning Tour
– Use IG Tools to map out scenarios– Rationalising routes, making them most distance
efficient– Research venues with a commitment to
environmental sustainability (or ask them)– Use digital comms. e.g. Skype to communicate with
partners before tour– If you do travel, try and maximize your impact in
that area by putting on more shows– Set commitments– Consider Live broadcasts– Work with touring consortiums to increase
collaboration9
On Tour • Transport, Advocacy and Set Design
– Green hotels, or encourage people to use family/friends
– Design shows to take up minimal transport space
– Advocacy with green riders– Sustainable forms of transport– Challenge exclusion zones
11
On Tour Innovations in set design• Depending on scale, having sets built on site might
be a better option• Can reduce set sizes considerably in order to
reduce the impact of transporting
