Director Lucy Picardo at ITEAC Conference 2023 06.10.23

Director Lucy Picardo recently attended the ITEAC Conference at Savoy Place in London as part of a panel discussing the sustainability challenges in theatre design. Lucy discussed our major redevelopment of Theatre Clwyd in North Wales which brings a currently unsustainable 1970’s building back into the 21st Century, opening up the theatre more fully to the surrounding landscape and community and employs sustainable measures throughout.

Our Malmo Stadsteater project was also showcased at the conference as part of a ‘designing for communities’ panel. Designed in collaboration with White Arkitekter, the project reopens the theatre to the life of the city and welcomes communities back into the building.

It was a pleasure to be part of the ITEAC conference alongside leaders in the field of imagining and making the spaces and places in which we experience performance.
