Julie’s Bicycle is to work in partnership with the Broadway Green Alliance under the banner of the International Green Theatre Alliance from now on.

The organisations, which both work to promote environmental sustainability in the theatre sector, will launch a new website in December which will provide information and resources on green “best practice” in the arts.

Alliance members will continue to work on a range of projects together from then on, including sharing research, case studies and practical tools as well as developing new resources. JB and the Broadway Green Alliance’s aim is for the alliance to develop into an international network of similar organisations.

Sian Alexander, the associate director for theatre at JB, said: “This new international alliance is the logical next step for us. We feel that we have much to learn from each other and that through collaboration we can achieve more, faster, as we work to improve the environmental sustainability of our industry.

“In the first instance we hope to provide a useful international resource for practitioners through our website. We expect to see other practical outcomes of our work together over the coming year, and in time we hope that our alliance will grow to include other countries. To this end, we are already in positive conversation with colleagues in Australia and Canada, among others.”
