Enhanced Performances
British Sign Language (BSL) interpretation:
A signed performance is a show that incorporates sign language that benefits those who use sign language. Trained BSL interpreters will generally will stand at the side of the stage, ensuring that the entire audience can fully engage with the artistic experience.
Relaxed performances are shows designed to be more inclusive for individuals with disabilities or sensory sensitivities or anyone who would benefit from a more relaxed environment. They offer a relaxed atmosphere, sensory adjustments, to provide a comfortable experience for all.
During a Captioned Performance the actors’ words appear as visible text on screens at the same time as they are spoken, as well as sound effects and off-stage noises. These can be beneficial for D/deaf or hard of hearing people, people with learning disabilities or also those for whom English is not their first language.
