About this audiobook
What are neurodiverse aesthetics? How and where do neurodiverse aesthetics appear, and how do they positively affect the wider theatrical culture? How can we all contribute to a neurodiversity-affirming theatre industry?
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.
