Sustainability at the Wuppertal Theaters
The Wuppertaler Bühnen promote a circular production model through the reuse of modular systems. By employing resource-efficient processes, they make their cultural operations climate-friendly and economically sustainable, and they actively encourage the audience to use eco-friendly modes of transportation to attend performances. At the same time, inclusive formats, edutainment offerings, and mobile programs strengthen cultural participation. Since the 2019/20 season, the inclusive studio STUDIYOU at the Schauspiel Wuppertal has been training people with disabilities to become professional actors and actresses. Furthermore, outreach efforts at its partner schools, in-house theater clubs, and summer programs promote a low-barrier entry point into culture. Local partnerships with associations, businesses, and foundations also continually open up new, varied, and diverse perspectives.
