What is Relaxed Performance?

A relaxed performance welcomes audiences who benefit from a more relaxed environment and is ideal for those with autism spectrum, intellectual disabilities and special needs, mild cognitive impairment. Certain production elements such as lights and sounds are adjusted to soften the sensory experience of the performance. Additionally, ‘chill-out zones’ are available for anyone feeling overwhelmed during the show.

Theatrical interpretation was provided for people with hearing impairment during the performance. After the show, HKB dancers spoke about their personal experiences with ballet and taught the audience members some ballet mime, also with theatrical interpretation.
