Outdoor Performance

This toolkit provides a starting point for groups researching ways to work outdoors.

Thinking of bringing your youth theatre workshops or performances outdoors?

This toolkit provides a starting point for groups researching ways to work outdoors. Whether you already know you want to make this part of your long-term practice, or whether you’d never considered it again since the height of the pandemic, there’s never been a better time to wrap up warm and head outside (we are still in Scotland after all!).

If you’re interested in exploring more environmental issues check out our Climate Awareness and Green Recovery Toolkit.
