How can we enable live performance to respond to today’s environmental challenges? To help the sector accelerate its ecological transition, the Lieux-Dits company has set up the “Sustainable” tool, developed and tested between 2023 and 2025, and supported by the Ministry of Culture. It is consistent with the ministerial strategy supported by the orientation and inspiration guide for the ecological transition of Culture, published in 2023. Various actions have thus been put in place to support independent teams in the implementation of a approach which combines social and environmental issues, in line with the methodological commitment of CACTÉ and in addition to the carbon benchmark of independent artistic teams.
“Better produce, better disseminate” is a central axis of the ecological transformation strategy of the Ministry of Culture. Among the tools designed and mobilized with this in mind: the Action and Cooperation Framework for Ecological Transformation (CACTÉ), accessible to all structures of artistic creation and obligatory for those who have signed a contractual document of three years or more with the Ministry of Culture. The CACTÉ is based on three stages, first and foremost the methodological commitment. This involves:
- former son équipe ;
- estimer ses impacts ;
- define a strategy based on cooperation.
The brand proposed via « Durables » aux performing arts producing organizations in the independent sector (companies, collectives, musical ensembles, etc.) is structured around four stages:
- Diagnostic.
- Prospective.
- Plan d’action.
- Assessment and follow-up.
Concretely, it is a succession d’ateliers guidéswhose instructions and materials are freely available. These workshops lead participants to evaluate their current environmental and social impact (first step) and to imagine a desirable and sustainable future for their team (second step), in order to define a concrete action plan horizontally (third step), to monitor and adjust its deployment (fourth step).
This methodological journey, inspired by the work of economist Kate Raworth, encourages artistic teams to mobilize collectively in order to position their activity in compliance with planetary limitsand respecting basic human needs.
