CLIMATE STATEMENT
Theatr na nÓg recognises that we are in a climate emergency and that we have a responsibility beyond our legal obligations to aim for carbon neutrality as soon as possible. We recognise that the work our industry creates is temporary, and that every part of a theatre production can have an impact, from the raw materials used for set, costume, lighting and sound, to the audience travelling to a venue.
We believe that the stories we tell can be part of the solution, as theatre can educate, open people’s minds, deepening their understanding of our natural world. Although previous stories we have told focused on the environment, we recognise that this is not enough, and that we must recommit ourselves to focusing on the environment off the stage too.
CYNNIG CYMRAEG
We are proud to be recognised by the Welsh Language Commissioner in offering a Cynnig Cymraeg Development Plan. Our 5 commitments to the Welsh language under the plan are:
- We provide high-quality Welsh language productions throughout Wales and beyond
- We provide engaging workshops in Welsh to school groups and communities
- We support Welsh speakers and learners within the theatre industry, offering the opportunity to work in Welsh
- We provide billingual resources for schools alongside our schools productions
- We aim to increase the number of audiences or Welsh language productions, working with co-producers throughout the Valleys to engage their local Welsh speakers and learners
