Theatre

Julie's Bicycle

Julie’s Bicycle was created almost three years ago by a cross section of people from across the music industry who felt strongly about the need for concerted action to improve the environmental impact of the music business. We are a not for profit company with a small staff and a board made up of senior figures from the music industry.” – ony Wadsworth, Julie’s Bicycle Chair and BPI Chairman.

Julie’s bicycle has achieved much in assisting the music, and now the theatre, industry to address their own carbon footprint and leverage their role to reach out to the broader community to affect change.

Alvin Sputnik, Deep Sea Explorer

This touching, award-winning theatrical performance Alvin Sputnik, Deep Sea Explorer reveals the human condition at the end of the world when seas have risen to overtake most of humanity. Using a masterful combination of animation, puppetry and song, artist Tim Watts charts the adventures of an average guy sent to the bottom of the sea to find another version of Earth hidden in the Earth’s core. Humorous, but ultimately damning, the performance is a warning tale for adults and children alike of what we stand to lose if we continue to bury our heads in the sand.

Tipping Point Australia

Tipping Point‘s unique brand of forum, which engages artists, scientists and others in dialogue about action on climate change has come to Australia from the UK. Three 2-day symposia in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane bring the best and the brightest together to generate multi-disciplinary project ideas and connections to get us out of the climate crisis. As an outcome of the events, Tipping Point is also running the Climate Commissions, as series of art and cultural works that will receive funding support for being carbon neutral or for addressing climate change concerns in our society.
