HOST: It's great to see technology playing a role in driving sustainability. However, there must be challenges when it comes to implementing these practices within the dance community. Can you share any obstacles you've faced or anticipate others might encounter while learning or teaching this subject? GUEST: One challenge is convincing stakeholders of the long-term benefits of sustainable practices, as the initial investment can be higher. Additionally, it can be difficult to find eco-friendly alternatives that meet the demanding requirements of dance productions. We address these challenges in the course by providing case studies and resources to help professionals make a strong case for sustainability. HOST: That's reassuring! Looking towards the future, how do you envision the dance industry evolving in terms of sustainability, and what role do you see this course playing in that transformation? GUEST: I believe the dance industry is on the cusp of a sustainability revolution. Our course empowers dance professionals to lead that change by equipping them with the skills and knowledge needed to create greener productions. By enrolling in this program, they'll be at the forefront of a movement that will reshape the dance world for the better. HOST: Thank you for sharing your insights and experiences with us today. It's clear that the 'Masterclass Certificate in Circular Economy for Dance' will be an invaluable resource for those looking to make a positive impact on the environment through their dance practices.
