Join renowned Australian children’s singer, Emily Who (Winner of two of The What’s On 4 Kids Awards 2023 – ‘Judged’ and ‘People’s Choice’) for her new, interactive and inclusive children’s concert, A Day for Adventure at the Joan Sutherland Performing Arts Centre, 21 – 22 June.
Jam-packed full of catchy songs and fun, Emily will spark imaginations and have you moving and grooving as she takes you on a journey under the sea, to a farm, to the jungle, and even back in time to dance with the dinosaurs!
These shows will be presented as relaxed performances and will be Auslan interpreted, making them accessible to the broader community.
Relaxed performances 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 traditional theatre etiquette, such as noise and movement amongst the audience. Other elements include the doors to the theatre being left open to allow audience members to enter and exit as needed and light and sound effects being toned down or removed.
An Auslan interpreter will interpret the spoken words and sound effects of the performances, enabling D/deaf patrons who use Auslan to engage with the concert.
Gather your friends and family and plan an exciting day out to the theatre now!
