Theatre @ Chatterbox

At Chatterbox Australia Therapy Services, we celebrate the power of creativity and inclusivity in the world of theatre, especially for individuals with additional needs.

Chatterbox is committed in creating groups and performances that are welcoming and supportive for the neurodivergent community. Let's dive in and discover the transformative impact of inclusive theatre at Chatterbox!

Theatre Can Help Children on the Spectrum Socially and Emotionally

Theatre fosters social skills by bringing together creative minds to learn collaboration, delegation, and communication. Emotionally, it evokes a range of feelings, enhancing compassion, empathy, and sympathy, while also providing a platform to practice verbal and non-verbal communication.

Why Theatre is Important for Neurodivergent Individuals

The benefits of theatre for individuals with additional needs, such as those on the autism spectrum, are numerous and significant. At Chatterbox, we believe that their unique contributions to the world of theatre are equally valuable.

Theatre Provides Release

Whether it’s through an emotional monologue, a silly improv game, freeing body movements, or quiet time, theatre is a release from the dredges of everyday life. Neurodivergent individuals  – and really, all people in general – need a safe space to express themselves freely, and theatre can do exactly that.

Theatre Supports Neurodiverse Students

Theatre can motivate students with additional needs to stay organised and prepared. By fulfilling commitments at home and school, they earn the reward of attending rehearsals. Structure and rules are essential for success for all students. Moreover, theatre fosters creativity, nurturing well-rounded and knowledgeable individuals.
