What is a relaxed performance?
A relaxed performance is designed for audience members who may benefit from a more flexible environment including neurodivergent individuals, people with disabilities, or anyone for whom the traditional live performance experience can be challenging. These performances also offer a welcoming space for families and young children discovering live dance for the first time. Relaxed performances are the only opportunity during our season where children do not need their own ticket to attend if they are sitting on a guardian’s lap, making them an ideal introduction to live performance for little ones. Everyone is welcome to attend.
What is a relaxed environment?
The main goal of a relaxed performance is to “relax” the theatre experience through small changes to the audience expectations, environment and production.
- Expectations of complete silence and complete stillness in the audience during the performance will be relaxed to accommodate people for whom this is not realistic.
- Patrons are welcome to come and go from the performance.
- A “chill zone” will be set up in a designated space for patrons to use
- House lighting in the auditorium will not be lowered to complete darkness during the production.
- Performance aspects such as abrupt lighting, sounds, or effects may be limited or removed.
Thank you to Inside Out Theatre for making these performances possible through their Good Host Program.

Join us for an exciting double-bill performance celebrating our first 10 years in the DJD Dance Centre.
The show features the beautiful DJD company of 9 dancers, live original jazz music composed by Carsten Rubeling and played by an ensemble of 5 remarkable musicians, spectacular costume design by Hannah Fisher, and magical lighting by Steve Isom.
Act 1 is a vibrant journey inspired by sounds and images from the most southern and northern parts of the Caribbean—Trinidad and New Orleans. Carne Vale is a brave new piece by longtime DJD dancer Sabrina Naz Comănescu, exploring the transition of the spirit into the afterlife and how, in this story, the spirit flows like water from the river to the sea.
Act 2 explores the crucial, rooted and sacred relationship between jazz dancer and musician. Created by Kimberley Cooper, Between the Bandstand and the Dancefloor dives deep into this relationship through improvisation, spoken word and fabulous physical and musical conversations between the dancers and musicians.
