"From April 10-26, the Big Umbrella Festival returns with nearly three weeks of free and pay-what-you-can performances, workshops and installations, all tailored for neurodivergent audiences. Big Umbrella, which launched in 2018, was the first large-scale performing arts festival of its kind and it's only grown more ambitious since. This year's edition spans dance, theater, comedy, music, visual art and outdoor installations, welcoming kids, adults, families and first-time arts-goers into spaces designed to be flexible, relaxed and judgment-free."
"At the heart of the festival is the idea that arts experiences don't have to look (or feel) the same for everyone. All events are presented as "relaxed performances" with a "no shushing" rule, which means audiences can come and go as needed, move, speak or engage on their own terms. One of the most visible additions will be at the complex's main Josie Robertson Plaza, where "Mi Casa, Your Casa 2.0" turns the iconic forecourt into a swing-filled installation of glowing red frames"
