DIFFERENT PLANET ARTS
We produce sensory theatre and immersive arts experiences for children and young people with complex disabilities. We work in theatres, arts centers, schools, hospitals, and community settings to create events and experiences in which we facilitate participants to co-create and play. We are an artist-led charity that promotes inclusion and empowerment through imagination and participation.
