Access & Environment  

Accessibility

2023, supported by the Canterbury Innovation Fund, we reviewed the accessibility of our website and social media using guidance from the Digital Cultural Network, Google Lighthouse, Wave Webbing, and manual testing (including mouse-free navigation).

We found our digital platforms are largely accessible but have made improvements, including:

• Adding alt text to all images

• Reducing unclear permalink labels
  
  

Due to financial limitations, we’ve not yet updated our website’s coding but hope to do so in the future.

We also met with accessibility experts and completed accredited training, embedding this learning across our workshops and theatre-making process.

If you have feedback or suggestions, please get in touch at unsettledtheatre@gmail.com or via our social channels.

Sustainability

Creating environmentally conscious work is equally important to us.

Through the Canterbury Innovation Fund, we:

• Met with professionals in sustainable theatre

• Completed carbon literacy training

• Measured the carbon footprint of our digital and in-person work
  
  

This has led to lasting changes in how we operate, such as:

• Using recycled and sustainable materials

• Travelling in low-impact ways
  
  

We hope to conduct a professional environmental audit in the future, pending funding.

Sharing Our Learning

Our Innovation Fund support also helped us develop a workshop model for young people in Canterbury that is both accessible and sustainable. We've compiled our learning into a handout for others in the industry.
