Accessibility
Same Difference Arts are pleased to be bringing an inclusive show to your venue.
We hope to make your experience of the pantomime as fantastic as possible so we will be providing the following for you to take part in, either before or during the show.
Please email [email protected] to find out what the venue you are attending will be offering during the panto.
A touch tour/familiarisation before the show starts.
On Requet
A touch tour/familiarisation gives anyone with sensory access needs, a chance to get to know what will happen in the show before they experience it. This might also include handling some of the props. It’s perfect for anyone with low vision, and people with learning disabilities and autism. It will last 20 minutes.
Venue Dependant - Quiet space or relax zone.
If possible, we will ask venues to provide a quiet space away from the main performance space.
Some audience members may struggle with the loud and busy pace of the pantomime and may want to go out and take a few moments. We will be touring with bean bags and creating a quiet space in each venue. There will be signs to show you where the quiet space or relax zone is.
Audio introductory notes.
These will describe the set, the actors and their costumes and any important props. The notes will be available to listen to online and to read before/during the show. To find these before you come, please visit www.samedifferencearts.com - There will also copies at the Help Desk when you arrive.
Visual Story
Sometimes it helps to know what’s going to happen in the performance, so the visual story will have images and a short explanation of about what’s going on in each scene.
