Sensory-Friendly Performances

North Pointe Ballet is committed to bringing classical ballet to all types of families in Northeast Ohio and most especially those in the extrasensory community by giving them an opportunity to engage in live arts experiences in their own communities at our sensory-friendly performances.

NPB’s sensory-friendly performances include accommodations designed to meet the unique needs of families with individuals who have extrasensory needs. These accommodations include:

  • house lights remaining on during the performance
  • reduction of loud jarring sounds and strobe lighting
  • accommodated house rules that allow audience members to talk and move about during the performance
  • a designated Take A Break Space where sensory needs can be fulfilled while others can still enjoy the performance
Recognizing that families of individuals with extrasensory and other needs often have additional financial obligations to provide specialized therapy and care for their family members, NPB offers these families tickets at a reduced price.

One performance of every story ballet run is a dedicated sensory-friendly presentation.
