Explanation of services
Audio Described
Audio description is a live commentary for people who are blind or have low vision of the visual elements of a performance which is relayed to the patron via a free headset and receiver linked to the FM radio system.
Pre-show Tactile Tours may be available allowing hands-on access to costumes, props and stage set in order to capture the atmosphere of the work. Tactile Tours usually occur before audio described performances.
Auslan Interpreted
Experienced Auslan theatre interpreters stand to the side of the stage and translate what the actors are saying or singing into Auslan. A block of seats is reserved for users of this service to ensure a good view of the interpreter and the stage.
Captioned
Captions are text descriptions that display a films dialogue, identify speakers and describe other relevant sounds that are otherwise inaccessible to people who are deaf or hearing impaired. Open Captions (OC) are displayed on a screen and Closed Captions (CC) are available to watch via an app on your personal device (phone or iPad).
Relaxed
Relaxed performances are open to everyone including people who are autistic, people with disabilities that create sensory sensitivities and anyone who would benefit from a more relaxed environment. There is an open-door policy allowing for movement in and out of the venue and staff will be able to direct patrons who require a quiet, low sensory space to a suitable location in the foyer area. A social story is provided in advance for reference about the journey to the venue and the elements of the show itself.
