This Sensory-Inclusive Performance is intended to create a welcoming and supportive environment for children and adults on the autism spectrum as well as individuals with other sensitivity issues or developmental disabilities. To create a sensory-Inclusive setting, slight adjustments have been made to the production including reduced sound levels, no flashing or strobe lights and minimal special effects. An area adjacent to the theater has been designated as a Quiet Room with specially trained volunteers to provide audience support.

Brazilian Voices, well known for its work in arts & healing, will create a sensory-inclusive performance of music featuring familiar songs intended to soothe and inspire. The repertoire includes Bossa Nova favorites like “The Girl from Ipanema,” “Summer Samba” (“Samba de verão”), and “Masque Nada,” American classics “Fly Me to the Moon,” “Isn’t She Lovely,” and “Happy,” along with medleys of popular Brazilian & American songs with a soft samba sound.

This one-hour musical experience takes place in an intimate setting and features the voices of the group’s award-winning female singers, light percussion and guitar. To encourage participation, Brazilian Voices will share egg-shaped musical shakers with everyone in the audience who would like to join in. The shakers are yours to keep as a memento and to carry the music home.
