Sensory-Friendly Performance

Participants in New York City Ballet Rehearsal Studios Rosalie O'Connor

Designed to provide a relaxed, inclusive environment, these performances offer individuals with sensory processing challenges, including autism, additional support as they experience the repertory of New York City Ballet.

Slight modifications for these specialized events include a relaxed entry/exit policy, adjustments to lighting and sound levels, designated break areas throughout the Theater, additional event staffing to assist with audience needs, and pre-visit resources, including a visual schedule.
