ABOUT ACCESSIBLE PERFORMANCES
Auslan Interpreted Performances
Auslan Interpreted performances enable Deaf Auslan users to engage with the event using their first language. The aural cues that are essential to the storytelling and the theatrical experience are translated into sign language. Auslan interpreters are discreetly positioned for comfortable viewing by Deaf patrons.
Relaxed Performances
Relaxed events are designed to reduce anxiety and create a supportive atmosphere for patrons with autism spectrum conditions, intellectual impairment, learning disability and other sensory and communication needs. There is a relaxed attitude to theatre etiquette, such as noise and movement among the audience.
Visual Stories
Visual stories are designed to accompany relaxed performances. Using both words and pictures, a visual story introduces patrons to what they can expect during their visit to the theatre. They briefly tell the story of your journey from the start to the end of the event in a factual way, offering positive options to help with fears and triggers such as loud noises.
