An email recently introduced me to a concept I had only hoped to see or actually hadn’t even imagined.
Juilliard, which holds a wide range of shows the hubster and I had enjoyed over the years, announced a series of “relaxed performances.”
The Met museum has regularly scheduled programs similarly geared to audiences with autism or dementia.
I had not thought of theater for potentially disruptive audiences as a thing. One of the barriers to taking Burt to a ballet, for instance, is my fear that he would be restless.
A “relaxed performance” takes that anxiety away. I plan to suss out this programming for us.
In the meantime, I need to add a more “relaxed” aspect to our TV viewing. I am preparing to accept that Burt might feel like talking through a film.
Time to relax.
this is our life
