Greening The Arts: The Brains Behind London’s Arcola And New York’s PS 122 Meet To Green Theater
♫ Friday, January 7th, 2011A couple weeks back the British Council hosted the Greening the Arts program in New York City. Leaders in the theater, music, and art worlds were all in attendance. And while there were big events and high-profile talks, I was invited to attend one of the less publicized events: a meeting between Ben Todd, the executive director of the world’s first carbon neutral theater, the Arcola in London, and Steve Warnick and Vallejo Gantner, the executive director and artistic director respectively, of New York City’s renowned Performance Space 122.
PS 122 is slated to undergo a $21 million renovation project, and the meeting was arranged to help the landmark theater take a cue or two from the Arcola—and go green as possible in its new form. In doing so, it could set an example for greening theaters worldwide.
