Audio description and Haptic Access tours available on Saturday 09/28:
For blind and visually impaired audience members, BANDALOOP partners with Gravity Access Services to offer live audio description and haptic access tours for selected performances. Audio description is a live audio track spoken by a professional audio describer to audience members with visual impairments through a wireless headset system. It provides clear and engaging descriptions of the meaningful visual details of a performance.
Haptic access tours start at 6:30pm and are a live 20-30 minute pre-show tour that allows patrons to experience—through touch and their own movement— the space, performers, costumes and objects in addition to key movement elements in the performance.
For more information, to book a spot in a Haptic Access Tour or to reserve a headset please call: 415-309-8565.
