Sensory Cinders is a new sensory pantomime adaptation of Cinderella for audiences with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD). It features original music exploring themes of identity, self-expression, transformation, magic, personas, authenticity, and connectedness. It asks what it means to pursue self-love and understanding in a world that doesn’t understand you.
The production includes specially designed sensory materials by Henshaws Arts & Crafts, a Yorkshire-based collective that supports local learning-disabled visual artists. This show marks the professional theatre debut for all the artists involved.
