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 neurodiverse culture and support accessibility?

This brief study de-pathologises neurodivergence 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 explores the intersections of theatre and the Neurodiversity moment (with actionable advice for supporting neurodiversity and accessibility included), but also looks to the future of the artform and highlights the importance of neuroaccessible spaces.

Dr. Amy Skinner is Senior Lecturer in Drama and Theatre Practice, at the School of the Arts, University of Hull, UK. They specialise in scenography, accessibility, and participation. Their previous publications have addressed scenography and political ideology (e.g. Meyerhold and the Cubists, longlisted for the Prague Quadrennial book prize). My recent work addresses neurodiverse wellbeing, mental health and creativity.
