Top Tips for an Inclusive Rehearsal with A.B.L.E.

Top Tips for an Inclusive Rehearsal with A.B.L.E.

Since 2016, A.B.L.E. has been creating innovative theatre and film projects for, with, and by actors with intellectual and developmental disabilities. A.B.L.E. has built a methodology rooted in fostering agency and celebrating the creativity of individuals of all abilities. Join A.B.L.E.’s Founder and Executive Director, Katie Yohe, and our team of Creative Associates to experience our approach first hand in this interactive training. We’ll examine some of the barriers facing disabled and neurodivergent actors in a traditional performing arts setting, and share our top 10 tips for accommodating neurodivergent performers. Participants will come away with a deeper awareness and understanding of the disability community, and practical strategies that can make their rehearsal process effective and welcoming for participants with a variety of learning and communication styles.

This session is ideal for Teaching Artists, directors, performers, and arts educators who want to revitalize their practice and develop tools and techniques for making their sessions more inclusive.
