We provide unique artistic participation for autistic individuals and their families most at risk of isolation. In response to Covid-19 we set up new ways of delivering our work to the vulnerable families we support around the world. This campaign will help us continue reaching the marginalized.

Situation
Autistic individuals struggle with high levels of isolation and anxiety which have increased exponentially with the pressures imposed this year by the Covid-19 lockdown and the necessity for social distancing. Families have had to cope with extra stresses caring for their vulnerable autistic family members often with no help. The change in routine for the autistic individuals has caused extreme stress within households and many families have felt their situation was impossible.
Solution
Since March 19th 2020, Flute Theatre have provided contact and access for autistic individuals and their families every single day without fail with our live streamed Heartbeats on Instagram. By June 2020 over 1500 people have joined us from all the world creating a family that spreads its arms across the globe. We have adapted our realspace performances into interactive experiences for families to access online & created a unique online resource of Hunter Heartbeat activities on our website.
