About
In collaboration with Arts Access Victoria, The Round proudly presents Neurospicy — a live podcast exploring accessibility in the arts.
Returning for its second year, Neurospicy is a live podcast focused on neurodivergent experiences, hosted by musician and advocate Dan Kerr (creator of Late to the Party podcast). This conversation brings together artists, advocates, and audiences to examine how we can transform the arts into spaces where neurodivergent people create, participate, and lead. You will have the opportunity to shape the conversation if you choose to engage with the live audience interaction tools and Q&A.
What We'll Explore
- How can venues and performance spaces become genuinely welcoming for neurodivergent people?
- What barriers exist? and how do we dismantle them?
- How do artists create work that celebrates cognitive diversity?
- What does accessibility look like from the audience's perspective?
