Relaxed Performance as a Realisation of the Aesthetics of Accessibility

Summary/Abstract: Relaxed performance (RP) democratises access to culture by supporting diverse modes of engagement, including those arising from neurodiversity and disability. This article argues that, in such events, accessibility constitutes an aesthetic quality: it shapes dramaturgy, visual and auditory dimensions, language, and the principles governing the organisation of space. In Poland, this form remains uncommon; however, contemporary choreography, with its openness to experimentation and its efforts to emancipate audiences from rigid frameworks of disciplinary reception, draws on strategies similar to those employed in RP. What are the aesthetic and political consequences of adopting inclusivity as a starting point for the creation of performance? To address this question, the creators – approaching the artistic process from the perspective of researchers accompanying it and employing participant observation – analyse the performance Warstwy (Layers), staged in the RP format.
