Royal Shakespeare Company

Pictures for the People partnered with the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) to produce a series of accessibility films explaining the support available for audiences with different access requirements. This film focuses on the RSC’s Relaxed Performances, introducing the adjustments made to create a more comfortable and welcoming theatre environment for people who benefit from a more flexible audience experience. Through clear, informative storytelling, the video helps remove uncertainty and encourages more people to enjoy live theatre. Explore more projects in the theatre and performing arts sector here.

Creating a More Relaxed Theatre Experience

The film explains how Relaxed Performances are designed to support autistic audiences, people with learning disabilities, sensory or communication differences, and anyone who would benefit from a more informal theatre environment. By outlining the changes made to performances and the support available before and during a visit, the video reassures audiences and demonstrates the RSC’s commitment to making theatre accessible to everyone. The result is an engaging resource that promotes inclusion while helping audiences feel confident about attending live performances.
