Relaxed Performances Workshop - for Pleasance

In July 2025, Abi co-led a Relaxed Performances Workshop for Pleasance artists taking shows to the Edinburgh Fringe.

The workshop explored features of relaxed performances, who might benefit from them, what to consider when putting one on, and what discussions to have with your team to have a successful relaxed performance. This also explores content warnings, Visual Stories and Relaxed Guides.

The workshop was co-led by Abi Turner, with Olivia Munk from Part of the Main.
