What to expect
This brief study celebrates neurodiversity and deconstructs neuronormativity, reminding us that the most interesting, creative, and powerful things occur when we embrace different ways of thinking and understanding.
Exploring the social, political, and creative histories of neurodivergent theatre-makers, Theatre and Neurodiversity not only delves into the intersections of theatre and the Neurodiversity Movement (with actionable advice for supporting neurodiversity and accessibility included), but also looks to the future of theatre making, highlighting the importance of neurodiversity-affirming creative practices.
Critics Review
-
Theatre & Neurodiversity is a handy and thought-provoking text for anyone interested in neurodiversity and the arts in any capacity. The chapter on aesthetics stands out for its theoretical engagements while other chapters familiarize the reader with more practical issues of neurodiverse theatre and possible ways to address them. In barely over 100 pages, this informative volume does a remarkable amount of work.
