As Rosendal Teater continues to learn and work as a relaxed venue in 2025, the house seeks to encourage Norway’s performing arts field and Norway’s art and culture sector to discover and get involved in the relaxed venue concept.

What makes a theatre accessible? Can everyone use your website, and how can you make your communication more inclusive?

In this free digital workshop, accessibility consultant Elia Covolan will give an introduction to working with accessibility in communication, design, and both printed and digital materials.

Participants will explore how to write, design, and communicate for a wider audience through practical exercises. The session will focus on Rosendal Teater’s communication, which will be analyzed and discussed together.

An opportunity for us all to learn, reflect, and create more inclusive experiences.

This online talk may be useful for people within the performance arts sector who want to learn more about integrating accessibility within your creative projects, and what support could look like for disabled artists and audiences.
