ETC Advisory Committees

Theatre Advisory Council

The Theatre Advisory Council (TAC) is conceived as a consultative body designed to advise the ETC Board and engage with members through structured processes.

Green Theatre Committee

GTC helps develop knowledge, analyses, and guidelines on sustainability. It plays a key role in driving forward ETC’s ambitious goal of becoming a climate-neutral

ETC Drama Committee

Representatives from within the ETC network jointly explore new dramatic writing in Europe and create new opportunities for contemporary playwrights, by collaborating with their time and expertise with the ETC Team.
