The National Institute of Dramatic Arts in Australia is offering a master's degree in "ecoscenography"that is, "ecological design for performance," reports the Guardian.
The program is the first of its kind in the world, and it's the brainchild of ecological designer and community artist Dr. Felicity Beer of the University of Melbourne.
It's based on her "The Living Stage," a recycled stage that's been performed in Australia, New York, Scotland, and Wales, and then eaten by the community.
The idea is that each "living stage" is designed so that it can be used as a stage, as a place to perform, and as a bed for community gardens.
As Beer puts it, "At the end of its performance life, each living stage is consumed by its community."
The university is working with P+ERL, an education and training company, on the program.
"Dr. Beer's research builds on 20 years' experience as an internationally recognized ecological designer and community artist," says the institute's CEO.
"Her work seeks to re-think traditional stage design practices for a sustainable future and was driven by a lack of information available on sustainability for the performing arts sector."
