| Vision
|
'Their work strikes at the heart of the debate about our relationship with the environment,' Times Educational Supplement.
Environmental Arts Theatre Company presents original drama and music which incorporates environmental issues as themes. Our aim is to educate through the performing arts, thus connecting the audience to otherwise distant problems in a dynamic and exciting way. The work is lively, interesting and emotionally engaging and appeals to people of all ages. Established in 1991, the company has presented more than ten original plays throughout Scotland and England. Overall, our target audiences are equally divided between children and the general public. The artistic director, Malcolm LeMaistre, draws on his professional experience as a former member of the seminal Scottish music group, The Incredible String Band, and on his long experience as an actor, writer and director to bring a unique quality to the work. Our patron is the well-known botanist and environmentalist, Dr. David Bellamy, who said, "...it is the best work of its kind I have ever seen."
