The Blanket Fort Club designs experiences for everyone to love, with a particular focus on young children aged 4-5+ and all children who would encounter barriers to access in traditional theatre experiences.
Who are the experiences for?
How are the experiences inclusive?
The Fort installation uses innovative 'sensory maps' to engage audience participants in an immersive journey, exploring story and theme through tactile spaces with their character guide. Each map has been designed to engage the senses and encourage playful interaction with characters and the Blanket Fort Club world-some maps are more quest-based than others.
Transitions are part of the magical experience, with the blanket fort inviting us through intriguing light, sound and tactile elements. At brief times, the maps weave together, celebrating connections and enriching concepts around the beauty of transient moments.
