NEUROSTAGES
Seeing Things Differently
NEUROSTAGES is a neurodivergent-led platform and space for artists, creatives, communities and industry professionals to find out more about neurodiversity in performance.
A two-day hybrid festival curated by the Scottish Neurodiverse Performance Network, the programme includes performances, provocations, film, workshops and discussions online, with a limited number of tickets available for in person attendance at CCA.
Find new perspectives with neurodivergent performers and artists as they share their experiences and practices to explore the question: how can embracing neurodiversity change theatre and performance for the better?
Enjoy new film work, hear about the unique creative processes of the artists supported by our NEUROSTAGES mentorships, delve into joyful facilitated workshops, and celebrate a constellation of neurodivergent artistry from Scotland and beyond.
Book now for the full online festival streamed from CCA.
