Email this article Oltre l’accessibilità. I teatri inclusivi
Abstract
This article aims to define and discuss the concept of inclusive theatre-making, from a theoretical, methodological and practical standpoint. Moving from previous research on accessible filmmaking, participatory accessibility and accessibility as a human right, the article proposes a paradigmatic shift from the somewhat privative notion of accessibility to the more comprehensive and equalitarian concept of inclusion. Drawing from drama studies, behavioural psychology and inclusive design theory, the article offers a set of key notions to be further defined and to be applied to the analysis of instances of inclusive theatre-making across Europe and beyond.
