“While scientists tell us that we already have the technologies required to avert catastrophic climate change, policy-makers and businesses continue to seek new technological ‘solutions’. Meanwhile, global consumption and emissions continue unsustainably, with minimal abatement. I believe that to change the lifestyles of entire populations, a cultural shift is required, and thus it is cultural agents which must take the lead. The past three years of work at Arcola Theatre provide examples and lessons.” - Ben Todd, Arcola Theatre
