[nabs-l] Charity concert for autistic children, any ideas?

[Sarah Jevnikar]

Have you done research into autism? There are wide ranges of this condition
just as there are wide ranges of visual impairment. I'd encourage you to do
some research: talk to the staff at the center, maybe even talk to your
audience and find out what they'd enjoy. After all, as a visually-impaired
person I'm sure you'd want someone to know what they were talking about
rather than coming with preconceived notions of what visual impairment is.
Perhaps engage the audience in performance. Would they find it fun to play
instruments? Would colourful costumes for the performers be an asset or
distraction? All things worth thinking about.
Let us know how it goes,
Sarah

What sort of band will be performing, and what will you be playing?

Hi all,
All students of the academy where I am studying will do a charity concert to
an autistic center. Any ideas what should we do there? I think we can't come
there and perform directly since people with autism need some time to
respond and give feetback. We should find a way so they can "be with us".
They are always with themselves in their own world most of the time. So, any
ideas? Input?
I look forward to hearing from you soon. Many thanks.
Winy.
