What is a relaxed performance?
A relaxed show is designed to welcome anyone who might find visiting the theatre a bit overwhelming. Pantomime is brilliant but the loud noises, flashing lights and busy atmosphere isn’t right for everyone.
A relaxed show brings down the volume, keeps auditorium lighting on at a low level throughout the show. It is expected that audience members will move in and out of the auditorium as needed and even make use of the quieter spaces around the building if required. There are no cuts made to the show, we just make some small adjustments to the technical aspects so it’s a gentler experience.
The audience are allowed to move around the auditorium, call out, respond to the action. It is expected that children will want to move out of their seats, comment on what is happening on the stage and shout out both when they are encouraged to and when they are excited by what they are seeing.
Everyone is attending for their own reason, and it means there’s a supportive atmosphere. The relief for parents and carers of not having to say, “be quiet!” often means that they can relax and enjoy the performance too, which in turn relaxes their child.
Who is a relaxed performance for?
Relaxed performances were originally conceived for people with additional needs who need an environment where they can be themselves. They have the additional benefit of being a lovely way to introduce children to theatre who may be a bit unsure about coming into the theatre.
They have the additional benefit of being a great way of introducing children who might be a little unsure, to the magic of theatre.
What is a Signed Performance?
Signed performances are for the benefit of patrons who use sign language. Trained British Signed Language (BSL) signers usually stand to one side of the stage and interpret the script used by the performers at the same time as it is being performed.
