Ecoscenographic placemaking
With growing cultural diversity, environmental pressures, and shifting social dynamics, urban landscapes are becoming increasingly complex. Creative interventions in shared urban spaces provide pathways to navigate these challenges. Through its intersections with architecture, scenography and placemaking practices, contemporary performance design reimagines the city as a dynamic stage for cultural narratives and artistic expression.

Exploring integrated ArtScience experiences to foster nature connectedness through head, heart and hand
Human activities continue to inflict profound detrimental impacts on biodiversity, yet we have not observed a commensurate shift in people's mindsets to achieve a more harmonious relationship between people and nature. As such, the need to shift the publics' perspective and awareness of their interconnectedness with nature continues to drive education and communication programs that aim to deepen the connection between people and nature. This has…
Regenerative inspiration for ecoscenography
In the 12 years I have spent exploring sustainability in the performing arts, nothing has inspired me more than the concept of regenerative development and the creative projects that speak to this movement. Regenerative development is a place-based and community-orientated approach to sustainability that emphasises socio-ecological potential (du Plessis 2012). The term ‘regenerative’ focuses on ‘enhancing life in all its manifestations – humans, …
Ecoscenography
This special double issue of Theatre and Performance Design – dedicated to Ecoscenography – comes at a pivotal moment in time. As I write this today, world leaders are gathering for the 26th UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Glasgow, a meeting that is widely accepted as the world’s last chance to avoid catastrophic climate change. Leaders from across the globe are being asked to fundamentally change their ways of doing things. To commit to …
Ecoscenography conversations1
The global ecological crisis calls for a new approach to theatre making that overturns the ‘take, make and dispose’ production model that has become so intrinsic to the performing arts. Ecoscenography is a burgeoning movement that interweaves creative, environmental, social and cultural aspects of performance design to produce ecologically sensitive and evocative spatial experiences. The neologism has its roots in Australian fringe theatre and fr…
Ecoscenography
Dossier
This dossier opens up a set of questions about what theatre and performance can do and be in a climate-changed future. Through a series of practice snapshots the authors suggest a diversity of responses to decolonizing and environmental justice issues in and through theatre and performance. These practices include the climate-fiction film The Wandering Earth , which prompts questions about what decolonizing means for China and the impact of clima…
Refugium WA
Various platforms have demonstrated the value of hands-on activities – such as community gardening and crafting – in making meaningful connections and collective identities for a sustainable and resilient future. In his seminal book, Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience (1990), psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi describes how these activities can be an opportunity to engage with ‘flow’ – a highly focused mental state that increases awaren…
