About the event

Cleo II (the 2nd company of Cleo Parker Robinson Dance) blends the traditions of historic and cultural preservation with those of myth and legend, through music, dance, and spoken word. “Dreamcatchers” shares stories of iconic African American historic figures of the West, including Clara Brown and James Beckwourth, as well as indigenous and African leaders of the Americas such as Ximalma and Yanga.

What makes these performances sensory-inclusive?
These hour long performances are modified to create a welcoming and supportive environment for children and adults on the autism spectrum as well as individuals with other sensitivity issues or developmental disabilities. Performers and LTAC staff work together to ensure there are no startling noises or visually over-stimulating components. Our team keeps sound levels lower than normal and keeps the lights in the audience higher than normal, ensuring audience members can see each other. Audience members are free to come and go if need be (there is always a “quiet room” available) and are asked to wave hands rather than clapping.
