Sense and Sensibility Toolkit

Instytut Działań Twórczych in Poland have put together this wonderful toolkit for Sensory Labyrinth Theatre.

Developed from an Erasmus + training project in September 2017 delivered by Bogdan Nechifor and Aida Sosic from Compania de Teatru Labirint. The toolkit features four chapters: a very insightful introduction to slt; some good ideas and examples of different applications; some simple excercises to try out and feedback from training participants and from audiences to the SLT developed at the end of the training.

Congratulations to all involved.
