Relaxed Performances

In the words of Jess Thom of Touretteshero: “Relaxed Performances extend a warm welcome to anyone who might find it difficult to follow the usual conventions of theatre etiquette.” A Relaxed Performance acknowledges the darkened and silent theatre experience as potentially isolating for some, and caters to those who prefer a space that accommodates their needs.

Adjustments often include gentler lighting and sound, relaxed attitudes to noise and movement around the auditorium and a general awareness amongst audience and staff of the possibility of disruption. We know conventional theatre performance can sometimes be overstimulating and we want everyone to feel comfortable in our spaces.
