Audio description and tactile tour services are 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.

Relaxed Performances are for anyone who would benefit from a more relaxed environment. This can include, but is not limited to, people with autism, sensory sensitivities, Tourette’s syndrome, learning disabilities or dementia, as well as people living with anxiety or people who have experienced trauma. 

In our Relaxed Performances we focus on relaxing or adapting the theatre environment while maintaining the creative integrity of the show. 

In a Relaxed Performance:  We may make minor changes to sensory elements of a show such as reducing bright lighting or loud noises. There is a relaxed attitude to noise and movement. You are welcome to bring in, and use, stimming devices. The theatre doors remain open; and the house lights remain on, but dimmed, throughout the performance.You can leave the venue at any time and a designated quiet area is available. Pre-show resources, such as a Visual Story, are also available to help you prepare for your visit. 

Classes On Demand is our online library of classes, enabling people to participate in classes in their own homes, at their own pace. There is a group of classes called Movement and Flow which supports gentle movement and mobility, building strength and stability through a combination of movement, Pilates and conditioning activities. This bundle is a great option for people who live with conditions such as arthritis.
