World premiere of an electric work by emerging theatre-shaker Jess Turner. Part spoken-word, part movement, part quiet reckoning, Spectrum is a story about loving, living and trusting beyond the ordinary.

Inspired by Jess’ own experiences, Spectrum moves through the soft, colourful space of neurodivergence with tenderness and defiance. It’s a show about masking, mirroring, and the strange, slow joy of letting go of what was never meant to be.

It has a quiet truth.
A question wrapped in metaphor.
A cyclone held in both hands.

There are no declarations of victory - just ripples of movement through memory, light spinning in a dark room, and the gentle hum of a simple question:
What if difference is not something to overcome, but something to offer?

Spectrum will not ask you to fix, translate, or simplify.
It will invite you to feel - deeply, honestly, sideways.
To step into a story told in stammer and shimmer.
To recognise yourself, not in the polished parts, but in the fracture.

Please come if you’ve ever been told to quiet the best parts of yourself.
Come if you’re carrying something no one ever taught you how to hold.

There is beauty here. Come and witness it.
