June 21, 8 PM - Audio Description
This incredible dance show features an intense soundscape that rises and falls throughout the show. If you are sensitive to sound we recommend requesting or grabbing a pair of earplugs from the access kit.
This show features incredible, gravity defying, lifts, tricks and throws. Dancers will be tossed across the stage and perform a variety of tricks and flips that are all meticulously rehearsed. They are trained professionals and are completely safe.
75 minutes, no intermission.
Latecomers can enter around 10 minutes into the performance, when the music becomes loud.
Patrons are welcome to exit and re-enter the theatre but are asked to do so quietly so as not to disturb other patrons and the performers.
June 21, 8 PM - Audio Description
This show will be described by JJ Hunt with consultation from Christine Malec. Sighted Guides available throughout the space as well as available upon request to meet blind and low vision patrons at transit stops or drop off points to guide them to and through the theatre.
This show will feature a new, experimental form of audio description that we hope will make dance more exciting and accessible to the blind/low vision community. This style of description will feature more opinions and reactions from the describer as well as more information on the artistry and storytelling of the piece. The structure and format of this description has been dictated by the blind/low vision community with leadership from Christine Malec.
