GENERAL INFORMATION

Impulse Theatre is committed to creating an anti-oppressive and anti-discriminatory space for all arts workers. We strive to provide relevant and responsive access options for artists, audiences, and participants. Specific accessibility information for each program or performance is shared in advance of every event.
Impulse Theatre does not operate a designated venue. When securing locations for our work and festival, we intentionally collaborate only with partners and spaces that align with and uphold our core values.

SCENT-REDUCED SPACE POLICY
As some attendees experience severe scent sensitivities we ask that individuals attend these events as scent free as possible.
This means where possible no perfumes, colognes, hairspray, scented creams and deodorants, or essential oils.

Interdependence: access, inclusion, diversity, equitY
Impulse’s approach to access, inclusion, diversity and equity is grounded in our value of interdependence. We live in relationship to other people, places, and beings, and depend on each other to not only survive, but thrive.
The ideas of accessibility and inclusion are integrated into our artistic intent, mandate, and company culture. Impulse embraces the social model of disability, believing that there are many ways our society is currently built that limits who and how one is able to participate. We design our programs and workplace culture with the intent to increase access (remove barriers to getting people into the room) and inclusion (empower and cultivate feeling of being recognized) on a per-individual basis. We believe in this principle of Inclusive design: by designing for the margins, everybody benefits
