Resonant Bodies recognizes that there are various barriers to accessibility and engagement when attending events. To support attendees we have implemented several practices designed to create a more inclusive and accommodating environment. While we strive to provide a predictable and calming atmosphere, we also acknowledge that this remains a live event, and inevitably there will be nuances and elements that can not be controlled.

We are continuously working to improve our accessibility and welcome feedback to help us better support your experience.

  • Quiet Atmosphere Before and After Events:

    • No background "house music" will be played before or after the event to maintain a calm and quiet environment, minimizing auditory overload.

  • Warm and Subtle Lighting:

    • Lighting will be kept warm and gentle, avoiding any moving, flashing, or strobing lights. This helps create a soothing and comfortable atmosphere for those with light sensitivities.

  • Scent-Free Environment:

    • We will not use scented candles, incense, or other strong fragrances for individuals with sensory sensitivities or allergies.

  • Clear and Predictable Schedule:

    • A clear and predictable schedule will be provided for all events, reducing unexpected changes that could trigger anxiety.

  • Flexible Seating Options:

    • A variety of seating options will be available to accommodate different needs:

      • Seating further away from instruments for reduced noise levels.

      • Stools, sofas, and cushioned floor space for flexible comfort.

      • Blankets and cushions for additional comfort.

      • Seating at an art table for those who prefer to engage in creative making while listening.

  • Pre-Event Familiarization Tours:

    • For those who benefit from familiarizing themselves with the space in a calmer, daylight environment, we offer pre-event tours.
