Description

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.
About Amy Skinner
Amy Skinner is Associate Professor in Co-Production in Mental Health Research in the Institute for Social Justice at York St John University, UK. She specialises in neurodivergence, mental health and creativity, with a background in theatre making and scenography. She has also written about the history of scenography and performance design (for example, her book Meyerhold and the Cubists, longlisted for the 2019 Prague Quadrennial book prize). Amy is particularly interested in the relationship between neurodivergent experience and creative practice, and works particularly on co-produced research with other neurodivergent collaborators.
