What do we do?
As the National Sensory Theatre, Interplay create immersive environments and work across art forms and across the five senses. Our productions contain themes that resonate in today’s world with characters that face challenges both physical and emotional.
The productions push the boundaries of how we communicate with children who are ‘far away’, locked inside themselves due to their disabilities and challenge preconceptions about the emotional literacy of young people with a range of complex needs by not being afraid to present situations which are a part of life, be they love, loss or death.
LS12 Creative
Through this work Interplay Theatre aims to enrich the lives of young people and our local community.
Our Participation Programme (LS12 Creative) aims to enable young people to develop their creative and life skills and realise their potential by creating and experiencing the arts.
“Completely unique, an incredible sensory experience unlike anything the children have encountered before…”
