Watch Back: Touring with Intent

Watch Back: Touring with Intent: Sustainable, Just and Creative Practices that Meet the Moment

This webinar brought together four years of learning from the International Touring and Environmental Responsibility (ITER) programme and asked: what did we learn, what did we change, and how do we build international touring that is sustainable and just by design rather than by accident?

Facilitated by Vicky Sword-Daniels (in for Hannah Graham, Julie’s Bicycle) and Frederik Larsen (in futurum), we heard from a panel of practitioners navigating these challenges in real-time, from the alumnus of the ITER 4 programme:

• Jonas Kohl (Foreningen Ballhaus) discusses the Green Folkways Exchange, a transnational project exploring ecological wisdom in local traditions across Europe and Ukraine, where materials travel across borders rather than artists.
• Ajay Chhabra (Nutkhut), shares his journey to Fiji and how Nutkhut is bringing internal learning back into performances to help audiences engage with climate issues as tangible realities.
• Gulli Sekse (ReArtica) introduces learnings from a Regenerative Business Model for the Arts (co-led with Wildtopia), which is a practical framework built on renewal and reciprocity, empowering artists to break free from extractive production cycles.
