Tactile Tour & Audio Described Performance
Saturday July 4 2026 2.00pm
1.15pm – Tactile Tour (15-20 mins)
Audio description is a service provided to enhance the experience of customers who are blind or have low vision.
The audio description is a live commentary of the visual elements of a performance by trained audio describers, relayed via a free headset and receiver linked to the FM radio system within the venue.
The tactile tour is available prior to the performance. Patrons who are blind or have low vision will experience hands on access to some costumes, props and stage elements in order to capture the atmosphere of the work. Our Sydney Dance Company staff will relay the context of each piece and how it is used in the performance.
Audio description seats can be purchased for the performance through Sydney Dance Company.
Approximately 90 minutes including intermission.
Event duration is a guide only and may be subject to change.
Children aged 15 years and under must be accompanied at all times.
