In a four-day (12/13/15/16 October) laboratory, participants will explore various aspects of the concept of Relaxed Performance. A particular focus will be placed on dealing with sensory stimuli (e.g. light, sound, smell) and their own accessibility needs in the context of consultations and creating contacts with artists and cultural institutions. All lab participants will give their first consultations on Relaxed Performance at the Performance Award Switzerland, which will take place on October 20, 2024 at the Gessnerallee.  

The lab is conceived, organised and led by three neurodivergent people with work experience in the field of Relaxed Performance: Lea Gockel (Coordination Accessibility and Inclusive Cultural Practice at Künstler*innenhaus Mousonturm; white, queer, disabled and chronically ill), Noa Winter (Dramaturg at the Gessnerallee; white, queer, disabled and chronically ill) and Ramona Unterberg (Agent for Diversity at the Gessnerallee; woman of colour).
