Where We Meet
Case Study & Access Toolkit
Where We Meet, our creative access journey
The world of immersive performance is so unique, and every experience is different. Even if the theatre world has made great progress on access, there are no existing guidelines for immersive formats and in some ways this would be impossible as each experience carries unique challenge. For Where We Meet, we have conducted a 6-month R&D to build the end to end access journey and understand which access provisions we could create.
We now share our learnings and tools to encourage other makers to integrate access into their creative process.
Case Study
This case study details the creative access process undertaken for Where We Meet. It describes the process, workshops, technical and creative prototypes, and overall learnings.
Access Toolkit
The Access Toolkit is a collection of tools, checklists and templates we have used during our process.
