Theatre And Neurodiversity

Omtale

What are neurodiverse aesthetics? How and where do neurodiverse aesthetics appear, and how do they positively affect the wider theatrical culture? How can we all contribute to a neurodiverse culture and support accessibility? This brief study de-pathologises neurodivergence and deconstructs neuronormativity, reminding us that the most interesting, creative, and powerful things occur when we embrace different ways of thinking and understanding. Exploring the social, political, and creative histories of neurodivergent theatre-makers, Theatre and Neurodiversity not only explores the intersections of theatre and the Neurodiversity moment (with actionable advice for supporting neurodiversity and accessibility included), but also looks to the future of the artform and highlights the importance of neuroaccessible spaces.
