Relaxed Performance of Koolbardi wer Wardong
Supported by Lotterywest
3pm performance | Tuesday 5 October 2021
His Majesty’s Theatre Perth

What is a relaxed performance?

A relaxed performance is aimed at creating a welcoming environment designed for but not limited to audiences with autism, sensory and communication needs and learning disabilities. At a relaxed performance, audiences are allowed to move around and make noise within reason when watching the performance. Conventional theatre rules are relaxed, and audiences are given permission to make themselves comfortable during the performance. Lighting and sound levels will be augmented to make the theatre experience more pleasant for audiences with sensory sensitivities. Front of House staff will also be trained to ensure they are equipped to facilitate a welcoming environment for audiences.

What can I expect?

• Theatre doors will remain open throughout the performance
• Lighting will be dimmed
• Sound will be moderated
• Pacing areas will be situated at the back of the auditorium in both the Stalls and Dress Circle
• A Quiet Area with bean bags and art materials will be available for audiences who may want to leave the auditorium to relax. The performance will be streamed live in the Quiet Area so they do not miss out on the performance.
• Audiences may exhibit comfort behaviours such as fidgeting, stimming, pacing, rocking or make noises during the performance
• Audience members are free to enter and exit the venue throughout the performance
