Online seminar – Weren’t you Expecting me

NBAN – Seminar: Weren’t You Expecting Me? Exploring the Practices That Move Us Towards Change
The Nordic-Baltic ASSITEJ Network, together with ASSITEJ Denmark, invites you to take part in this seminar. Together we will address the question: What does the TYA field call for in new leadership practices to ensure diversity and equal access?
In this seminar you will meet Caroline Bowditch as she highlights the fact that the presence of visibly disabled performers in productions for young audiences is incredibly rare. In response to this, Caroline spent time in 2017–2018 with the Edinburgh International Children’s Festival, closely examining the impact this absence may have on the live performance experience of both disabled and non-disabled children. Her research particularly focused on its effects on aspirations, self-esteem, and overall perceptions of disability. Throughout her work, Caroline has engaged with industry professionals and performance makers, gathering insights into their experiences and choices while identifying areas for future growth and change.
Following the talk, the panel/the online participants will explore key questions such as: What kind of leadership is required to implement diversity strategies effectively? What are the obstacles and pitfalls in recognizing and addressing how some individuals may feel more at home in institutions that assume specific bodies as the norm—whether in the audience, on boards, on stage, or in roles as playwrights, producers, and leaders?
Join us as we navigate the complexities of fostering inclusivity and translating diversity strategies into meaningful practice. Læs mere om seminar (fysisk og online) her

Creating Sensory Performances for Young People with Disabilities

Creating Sensory Performances for Young People with Disabilities

Kom til ASSITEJs workshop fredag den 10.januar 2025 kl. 14-16.30 i Siloen hos C:NTACT, Edisonsvej 10, 1856 Frederiksberg. Det er gratis for medlemmer og det bliver rigtig spændende – du er velkommen uanset om du er skuespiller, danser, koreograf, instruktør eller dramatiker. Du skal bare være indstillet på at komme ud gulvet og blive inspireret. Vær obs på at workshoppen foregår på engelsk.

Beskrivelse: Creating Sensory Performances for Young People with Disabilities
The smell of the forest, the heat radiating from an open fire, the exhilaration of dancing like you’re the only person in the room… In this practical workshop, we will explore ways of incorporating the sensorium into your performances and why this is vital in recognising the different ways our brains work.
We begin by looking at how our early visual and aural experiences form the blueprints of where we feel comfort and then we move into an exploration of how sensory storytelling can convey nuanced and rich narratives. Movement stimulates our vestibular and proprioceptive senses and helps develop motor functions. Therefore we will finish by looking at inclusive movement as a sensory experience and how physicality can be a vital component of creating accessible opportunities to engage with the performing arts.
The workshop is aimed at anyone with an interest in inclusive theatre and hopes to showcase how even a little sensory offer, like having a scent in your performance venue, can go a long way.
