Compose The Senses

Writer and Director Talitha Bella - Autism affects every aspect of my life. The way I move, the way I think, and so much more. And because of this, traditional performance spaces (filmsets, theatre productions) have been so conflicting for me, because more often than not, they simply aren't set up in a way that allows me to be successful - despite how intensely passionate I am. Compose The Senses marks my decision to step away from my previous vocational aim of being a costume and set designer, and to instead create my own performances, to give myself a sense of control and authorship - and henceforth allow myself and other neurodivergent individuals to succeed.
