How can today’s theatre promote accessibility for people with disabilities regarding human resources, programme and audience? What knowledge and competencies do staff in those areas need? What structural conditions are required and what practices need to change? These are the questions at the heart of the 4th international symposium ALL IN, hosted in cooperation with the Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus and the Düsseldorf asphalt festival this year.
