Disney Theatrical Group is proud to be partnering with Autism Spectrum Australia (Aspect), Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC) and Autism Queensland to offer a relaxed performance of Beauty and the Beast on Saturday the 11th of May at 1:30 pm. This unique and inclusive performance will be tailored, from start to finish, to ensure audience members who may need specific support can attend, engage and feel welcomed.
What is a Relaxed Performance? A relaxed performance means that audience members will be encouraged to be completely themselves during the performance – to make sounds, move around, fidget or use noise cancelling headphones.
Based on an assessment by Aspect’s Autistic staff, modifications will be made to the show, foyers and the entire experience, to consider and care for those who may need specific supports. There will be extra staff on hand and dedicated quiet areas.
During the performance, nuanced adjustments will be made to both the lighting and sound levels to accommodate sensory sensitivities, ensuring a more comfortable and enjoyable experience for all attendees.
