ECODRAMATURGY 

What are performance arts practitioners and researchers doing for the climate? 

Theater has traditionally helped us think about inter-human relationships – but with the climate crises the framework has changed. Without feeling for the ecologies we are part of, there is no future for man and civilization. We need new forms of feeling and thinking – politically and aesthetically – to go on. 

What does performing arts and performing arts research do in this situation? 

The symposium offers three presentations and a panel discussion reflecting on what has been done, is being done and can be done. Our focus is on “ecodramaturgy”, i. e. the question of how the performing arts, through thematic, aesthetic and practical choices, can stay relevant in the current crisis.

• Sandra Grehn: ”Ekodramaturgi och att utmana den antropocentriska blicken” (föredrag)
