Welcome

 “Ecological victory will require a transvaluation so profound as to be nearly unimaginable at present. And in this the arts and humanities – including the theater – must play a role.” -- Una Chaudhuri

The mission of Earth Matters on Stage is to nuture connection and collaboration among artsts who share an ecological sensibility.

Join us in 2009 for the Ecodrama Playwrights Festival and Symposium on Ecology and Performance at the University of Oregon, Eugene.

Our Playwrights Festival calls forth new dramatic works that respond to the ecological crisis, plays that explore new possibilities of being in relationship with the more-than-human world.  The concurrent Symposium asks us to think more deeply about how theatre and performance might participate in growing a more sustainable society.

Join us May 21 ~ 31, 2009 for ten days of performances, workshops, readings, and round-table discussions dedicated to nurturing theatrical work that rises out of our connection to the environments we share and love.
