This will be a fun and engaging way to reflect on the themes of inclusion and accessibility in community participation for people with autism, intellectual disability and / or psychosocial disability.
WHO: Rebus: Theatre for Social Change is an inclusive theatre company based in the ACT. We create theatre performances and workshops with and for people with disabilities across Australia, and we’re excited to invite your organisation to be part of our most ambitious project yet – Stages of Empathy!
WHAT: In 2025, we will be touring an interactive theatre piece to community organisations and workplaces across Australia. This project will address the challenges and opportunities of working with diverse groups. Part theatre show, part workplace training, the performance is designed to engage audiences in workshop-style discussions about creating more inclusive and accessible environments.
To ensure this performance is impactful, we are conducting a consultation process to gather insights from both community organisations and people with lived experience of autism, psychosocial disability, and intellectual disability.
We’re reaching out to you to hear about your own experiences of accessibility and inclusion in community spaces!
