#PRACTICEGreen
Over the past 60 years, Practice has continuously adapted its artmaking approach in response to an ever-changing world. We have long embraced a zero-waste and reuse mentality as part of its DNA, leading to creative designs focused on extending the lifecycle of sets, props and costumes.
The #PracticeGreen initiative brings this into a company-wide movement across all departments — production, producing, marketing, administration, operations and beyond — embedding ecologically conscious decision-making within everyday practice.
Rather than prescribing a fixed set of steps or "must-dos", #PracticeGreen aims to foster a holistic awareness of how resources, labour and decisions are linked within a Singapore context, and to empower individuals across the organisation to respond with thoughtfulness, creativity, and care.
In doing so, we see sustainability not as a constraint, but as a generative framework — shaping not only how we make work, but how we collaborate and engage with our communities. Through our artistic and organisational practices, we seek to make these relationships visible, and to model more interconnected and regenerative ways of working.

Anthony Field Academy (ISPA 2026)
Re-imagining Sustainability Through The Arts & Culture
Co-curated by The Theatre Practice (Singapore and Creative Climate (Australia), this gathering positions sustainability not as a checklist or a top-down mandate, but as a living, shared inquiry shaped by the experiences and insights of all participants.
Across provocations, sharings and working sessions, artists, producers and arts workers are invited to explore the multiple dimensions of transformation — from environmental and infrastructural to social and cultural — through the lens of the performing arts. The approach is circular and collaborative: where diverse industry professionals — artists, administrators and cultural leaders — share stories, tools and challenges, learning from one another in real time.
Together, the sessions form a journey, where every participant contributes to imagining sustainable practices that are locally rooted, culturally resonant, and collectively owned.
About ISPA 2026 Singapore Congress
Hosted by the National by the National Arts Council (NAC), Singapore is proud to be the host city for ISPA's Mid-Year Congress this year. With its theme "Creative Convergence: Same Same and Different", the ISPA 2026 Singapore Congress aims to unite creative minds from around the world in exploring how we converge through a plurality of approaches where the similarities and differences between our cultural practices, perspectives and sectors co-exist not in contrast, but in harmony.
Theatre Green Book (Singapore)
Commissioned by Arts Resource Hub and developed by The Theatre Practice, the Theatre Green Book (SG) documents best practices and resources for creating sustainable theatre for a local context.
It aims to be an inclusive resource, applicable to all practitioners regardless of production size, capability or available resource, advocating for a mindset shift rather than prescribing a rigid set of rules or checklists.
