SENSORY ACCESS

Relaxed Performance

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 uncomfortable 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.

The following events are offering Relaxed Performances:
