How to Enable Access to Theatre for Everyone
Theatre is for everyone. It doesn’t just take place inside the confines of a theatre or an arts centre it takes place all around us and is presented in different forms. During the Covid-19 pandemic, venues across the world have been forced to close and re-evaluate how they choose to present work. The role of digital has captivated audiences and diversified theatre’s offering on a truly unprecedented scale. It has offered more opportunities for inclusion and interaction than perhaps any time in history. We should use this opportunity for a fundamental change and shift in terms of giving people opportunities to see and enjoy theatre. This change will not happen overnight and we should do all we can to improve accessibility and inclusion for people to enjoy theatre. There are some fantastic services and platforms that help promote digital inclusivity to theatre and the wider arts.
