Interviews with Theatre Makers

Exclusive interviews with theatre creatives, conducted especially for EarthShakes 

These interviews were conducted by Ying Wei (Anna) Zhang for Earth Shakes in 2020 and 2021. You can watch the video of the interview and/or read the transcriptions at the links below. Theatre makers were asked: 

• how their company engages in environmental practices
• some of the limitations they have faced in practicing green theatre
• how theatre in general can be more sustainable and helpful in the fight for environmental justice
• why Shakespeare?
• what does the future of theatre look like?

We also include here the company videos that were part of the 2021 Globe4Globe conference.
