Abstract

This article draws on the principles of grassroots climate justice movements, social movement platforms, and action networks to lay the groundwork for Green New Theatre in Canada, all the while making the argument that a Green New Theatre can contribute to transitioning from an extractive and exploitative economy to a regenerative one in the face of climate crisis. It identifies some of the seeds already planted for a Green New Theatre in Canada that will build momentum for the transformative change required to transition to a decarbonized, decolonized economy. Finally, it addresses how energy transition will revolutionize our existing system of theatrical production. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
