We have more than five senses. Access can be a creative starting point. And theatre can happen in your home.Â
Join us behind the scenes of InSideWays to discover what happened when more than 100 collaborators - artists, makers, researchers and families â came together across two countries to reimagine how theatre is made, where it happens, and who it is for. Â
Host Flo OâMahony (Artistic Director of Zoo Co and director of the 5 star, award-winning âPerfect Show for Rachelâ) joins Oily Cartâs Artistic Director Ellie Griffiths, and researchers Aaron McPeake and Elspeth Clark, to discuss what making a sensory show for peopleâs homes taught them about creativity, access and connection.
Their conversation includes:
đŹ How many senses we really haveÂ
đŹ What happens when a home becomes a stageÂ
đŹ How sensory and At Home theatre remove barriers for audiences, and create new possibilitesÂ
đŹ Where the idea of âsidewaysâ came from, and how it led us to the taste of soundÂ
đŹ Co-creation, co-occupation and the magic that happens between peopleÂ
đŹ Why access belongs at the heart â and the start â of the creative processÂ
đŹ The value in asking impossible questions (even when you wonât get an answer)Â
đŹ Why time might be the final frontier of access practiceÂ
