The Brisbane Improv Festival is excited to be hosting 22 Improvisation Workshops as part of the 2023 Festival with facilitators from all over Australia and New Zealand.

Strategies for Inclusive Performance Spaces
Facilitated by Ellen Jackson (Moreton Bay, Qld)

Welcome - safe - respected. We all want to help people feel this way when they are involved in our theatres as performers and audiences. But... how do we do that? Many people within the improv community come from marginalized backgrounds and live with disabilities both visible and invisible. Join me as we discuss practical strategies to intentionally create inclusive and accessible performance communities.
