What it looks like in action
Training and Workshops:
Inclusion can be taught. We will work with your team to address internalized, systemic ableism and how it affects disabled theatre practitioners today. Often times accessibility is a mindset, we hope to teach your team why accessibility is a necessity that benefits everyone, not just another checkmark for code requirements.
A thorough assessment of theater spaces
We will come to your theatre and address where physical access is a barrier to inclusive practices in all of your theatre spaces, including where performers, designers, technicians, staff, and patrons may be present. We will then give you a plan on how you can make your space accessible in the short term with small adjustments, and long term through full renovations.
A full breakdown of audience services
Ensuring that patrons have a fully accessible theater experience is important. We will give you a full accommodation guide and train you on best practices for front of house accessibility.
All plans will be developed specifically for each individual company and its needs.
