Omschrijving
Sensory Theatre: How to Make Interactive, Inclusive, Immersive Theatre for Diverse Audiences by a Founder of Oily Cart is an accessible step-by-step guide to creating theatre for inclusive audiences, such as young people on the autism spectrum or affected by other neuro-divergent conditions and children under two.
"An invaluable exploration of sensory theatre seen through the perspective of one of its most important developers, Oily Cart co-founder, Tim Webb. Both an historical perspective and a practical "how to" approach, the book gloriously celebrates the power of theatre, particularly when theatre makers look beyond traditional theatrical borders, to engage with participants (audiences) in multisensory ways. It asks readers to broaden their definition of what constitutes a story and the ways to perform it. While most applicable for theatre makers interested in creating inclusive performances, it also speaks to all theatre makers, reminding us to re-engage with how we approach our theatre making endeavors, being more mindful of the diversity of our audiences not only in their backgrounds and experiences, but with how they engage sensorially with the world. I do not think it hyperbolic to say this is perhaps the most important theatre book to be published in recent years."
Dr. Teresa A Fisher, producer of New Plays for Young Audiences and author of Post-Show Discussions in New Play Development
