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. Conventional theatre relies on seeing and hearing to involve its audience; sensory theatre harnesses the power of five or more senses to address its participants who have different ways of relating to the world around them. This book is an insightful history of Oily Cart and its pioneering development of work for the very young, including Baby Theatre, and for neuro-divergent audiences including those on the autism spectrum. It gives a clear introduction to the fundamental concepts of this theatre, suggests a host of practical techniques drawn from over forty years of experience, and describes some of Oily Cart’s most radical innovations, including theatre on trampolines, in hydrotherapy pools, and with flying audiences in the company of aerial artists. The book also includes copious photos from the Oily Cart’s archives and links to videos examples of the company’s work. Readers will learn how to: Research the intended audience while not being led astray by labels. Create a welcoming, immersive sensory space in classrooms, nurseries, school halls, and playgrounds. Devise sensory stories that can be adapted to suit different audiences. Recruit, audition, cast, and run rehearsals. Ensure that the production is truly sensory and interactive. Written for Theatre for Young Audiences, Drama in Education, and specialized Applied Theatre courses, as well as educators and theatre practitioners interested in creating inclusive, interactive productions, Sensory Theatre offers a goldmine of ideas for making work that connects with audiences who can be the hardest to reach.

The Provocation of the Senses in Contemporary Theatre available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Di Benedetto considers theatrical practice through the lens of contemporary neuroscientific discoveries in this provoking study, which lays the foundation for considering the physiological basis of the power of theatre practice to affect human behavior. He presents a basic summary of the ways that the senses function in relation to cognitive science and physiology, offering an overview of dominant trends of discussion on the realm of the senses in performance. Also presented are examples of how those ideas are illustrated in recent theatrical presentations, and how the different senses form the structure of a theatrical event. Di Benedetto concludes by suggesting the possible implications these neuroscientific ideas have upon our understanding of theatrical composition, audience response, and the generation of meaning.

Download and read online ebook Ability-inclusive Sensory Theatre in the United States write by Molly Mattaini. This book was released on 2022. Ability-inclusive Sensory Theatre in the United States available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This dissertation examines ability-inclusive sensory theatre, an immersive-participatory form of theatre centered on audience of young people with cognitive disabilities, as it has been practiced in the United States from 2007-2020. It argues that sensory theatre is primarily an aesthetic practice, subverting the notion that art practices around disability and youth must be either educational or therapeutic. The paper includes a history of the development of sensory theatre within the United States and the influences of the US educational and arts funding systems upon artistic practice. It argues the aims of sensory theatre are primarily affective rather than semiotic, allowing for a flexible cognitive engagement with the performance text. It catalogs methods of collaboration with audiences in both development and performance to determine to what extent these practices constitute co-authorship. The communication of risk within invitations to participate in the performance are analyzed for their alignment with the concept of "dignity of risk." In the final chapter, the intra-audience viewing dynamics of immersive theatre spaces are placed in conversation with Rosemarie Garland-Thomson's visual rhetorics of disability to examine how the management of the audience's gaze at times subverts and at other times reifies existing socio-cultural narratives around youth and disability.
