RELAXED PERFORMANCES

Designed for anyone and everyone who may benefit from a more relaxed environment in a theatre, performance, or event space. Relaxed performances or sessions create a safe and welcoming environment for people who are autistic and neurodivergent, those with sensory sensitivities, learning disability, dementia, people living with anxiety or who have experienced trauma, and anyone who may feel unwelcome in a theatre or event space due to social protocols or not having attended previously.

Some small changes are made to sensory elements of the experience and there is a relaxed attitude to noise and movement. Theatre/venue doors are left open for patrons to move in and out of the space at any time and houselights are kept on and dimmed throughout the performance/experience. Patrons are welcome to bring and use stimming devices.

CHILL OUT SPACE

A space designed for anyone and everyone who may benefit from a space to calm and cope before, during and after a sensory stimulating experience. Chill out spaces create a safe and calming environment for people who are autistic and neurodivergent, those with sensory sensitivities, people living with anxiety or who have experienced trauma, and anyone who may feel overwhelmed by sensory stimulating experiences.

Chill out spaces will provide a private area away from the sensory experience with soft items to sit on, darkened areas, noise reduction devices and weighted items. Seating for companions will also be available outside the space.
