Cate Blanchett & Andrew Upton

From Australia

Speakers
Cate and Andrew have been Artistic Directors of Sydney Theatre Company (STC) since January 2008, credited with re-connecting the Company with Australian audiences while positioning it firmly on the international stage.

Under their leadership, STC's Greening The Wharf project has involved transforming STC's home-base on Sydney Harbour into a demonstration of how buildings - even heritage listed ones - can be made more sustainable. The Company has installed Australia's second-largest (380 kWh) rooftop solar array, a rainwater harvesting and reticulation system that will provide all of The Wharf's non-potable water requirements (due for completion in July 2011), and a waste-stream management program. Greening The Wharf has also seen the incorporation of sustainability principles into theatre design, set construction and lighting.
