Various forms of attention are welcome. There will be different seating options, sensory toys*, blankets, drinks, and food (including gluten-free and vegan alternatives).

*Sensory toys are small, calming objects such as stress balls, putty, or fidget rings that particularly help neurodivergent people regulate their nervous system.

What is a Relaxed Event?
Relaxed events are based on the format of a Relaxed Performance and aim to provide accessibility, particularly for neurodivergent individuals, people with chronic illnesses/pain, and those with invisible disabilities. In these events, accessibility is not an afterthought but an integral part of the event concept. Just like in theater performances, there are often implicit behavioral expectations at events that make it difficult for neurodivergent people or those with chronic illnesses/pain to fully participate. Examples include expectations to sit still, move little, or not take breaks independently. These conventions can hinder participation for many people. The aim of the relaxed event format is to eliminate these rules/expectations. Additionally, relaxed formats offer a sensitive approach, especially for emotionally charged or trauma-related topics. At the beginning of each event, we will share various body exercises with you, designed to calm the central nervous system, which you can perform individually or as a group.
