I was wondering the same, but apparently this is the sign for applause, i.e. if you wanted to say that the audience applauded the actors?

So, technically, they've got it wrong then? They're not actually doing an alternative to clapping, they're just describing clapping...
F*cks sake, why am I even thinking about this?! *slaps self on back of head*

If that’s all they’ve got to worry about then isn’t it time that they learnt about what they are supposedly studying?
And if worrying about clapping is what passes for higher education then student loans are apparently well justified.

CUM ON FEEL THE NOIZE
Given that Jazz originated in African-American communities in New Orleans, I would have thought that 'Jazz Hands' are therefore a form of cultural appropriation and offensive for other people to make.
I don't think the Students Union have thought this through.

I was at the Students Union on Sunday night at a gig, and the jazz hands message didn't seem to have been communicated to the audience.

I think they've massively OVERTHOUGHT it, and ended up "solving" a problem that never even existed. Some of them have clearly got way too much time on their (jazz) hands.

Not spelt with an 'a'.......
What about one armed people? Shouldn’t it be a jazz HAND just to be safe? Or is that offensive to Japanese Zen masters?

What about people with really short arms who can't wave them at head height? At least with proper clapping they can slap their thigh, or beat their chest in an Ian Poulter style. This new version is completely discriminatory.

This.
Conjoined twins. What if one wants to jazz hand but the other doesn’t? I think we should call a meeting.

We could call a meeting or we could just call these ***** "*****" and be done with it.

I have a more suitable hand display for them...
Yep, Jizz Hands
The good old fashioned "wanker sign into flicking the v's and back again" should work perfectly.

There was a discussion about this on R5 earlier. The key word in the statement is "inclusive". It has nothing to do with political correctness. Many people, including autistic people, hate loud unexpected noises and will avoid attending events where that can happen. This is a way to try and get them to be feel more included in student union life so perhaps now they will be more likely to attend certain events and get more involved, which can only be a good thing.
As the father of an autistic child who couldn't attend his own presentation ceremony at the end of a college course because it was too noisy, I say good for them.

I don't particularly like crowded spaces. Maybe other people can consider me and not turn up at all at gigs, festivals and football matches.
