About this event

  • 6 hours

Mind Over Manner is coming to Takaka to deliver a Neurodiversity Workshop for Community

Mind Over Manner workshops use the power of theatre to introduce participants to an alternative way of understanding so many people who sense and learn differently - often diagnosed (or not diagnosed) with Neurodiversity (Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Oppositional Defiant Disorder and others). Alternatively, we call it Takiwātanga - those who live in their own space and time.

Our experienced team of actors show how a person's sensory overwhelm and cognitive relationship to the world can often result in rude, shutdown or confused behaviour.

We will bring a number of charged scenarios to life, then work with you, our participants, to unpack, bring our collective learnings and re-evaluate our responses to the difficult situations that often arise.

These workshops are relevant to all people who live alongside or work with people who are anxious, who may have behavioural, sensory and learning differences.

We encourage whanau, professionals, and ALL members of the community to engage in these intriguing and eye-opening workshop.


"It is the most powerful, emotionally charged and practical professional learning I have ever experienced." Parent/Teacher
