Hosted by the Art in the Open Festival, this panel discussion will feature artists whose work revolves around "practices of care" for different kinds of communities and places. They will discuss how art can intervene in society to strengthen bonds between individuals and groups and our relationships with the ecosystems and organisms that share our urban and rural landscapes.
Charlottetown’s Art in the Open Festival runs Saturday, August 27, 4 pm - midnight and details are available at https://www.artintheopenpei.org/

What are Relaxed Performances?
Sometimes referred to as sensory-friendly experiences, Relaxed Performances give the opportunity for those with various sensitivities towards sensory stimuli to experience and enjoy live theatre.
These performances will be designed in a way to be more comfortable for audience members who may experience anxiety or are not comfortable with some aspects of a traditional theatre setting. This can include people on the Autism Spectrum and their families; those with sensory and communicative disorders or learning disabilities; people with Tourette’s syndrome; someone who might need to move often due to chronic pain or to use the facilities; or even parents with toddlers.
