Project Arts Centre is completely accessible for wheelchair users. Please note that outside the building there is wide footpath, the road and surrounding streets have a cobblestone surface.

Accessible Performances

 

At Project Arts Centre, we aim to provide a wide-range of accessible performances including Audio Description, ISL, Captioning, Relaxed Performances, Touch Tours and a Hearing Loop System.

 

Upcoming Accessible Performances
For details on upcoming Accessible Performances, please click here.

 

Audio Description
Audio Description for live performance is a live verbal commentary providing information on the visual elements of a production as it unfolds, from sets, props and costumes to actors’ facial expressions and movements across the stage. Audio-described performances are available on certain performances throughout the year.

 

Irish Sign Language (ISL)
Irish Sign Language (ISL) is the sign language used in the Republic of Ireland. The language makes use of space and involves movement of the hands, body, face and head. A sign language interpreter interprets what a person says or signs simultaneously, or immediately afterwards.

 

Induction loops
Induction loops and infrared systems enable people with hearing aids to receive amplified sounds from within a specific area directly into their hearing device, without interference from background noise being amplified too. Our two performance spaces are also fitted with a hearing loop system to assist those who are hard of hearing.

 

Captioning
Captioning gives deaf and hard of hearing people access to live performances and screenings. It is similar to television and film subtitling. Captioning converts the spoken word into text, which is displayed on one or more caption units situated on, above or next to the stage.

 

Relaxed Performances
Relaxed Performances are specifically designed to welcome people who will benefit from a more relaxed performance environment, including people with an Autism Spectrum Condition, sensory and communication disorders, or a learning disability. They also benefit people with hidden disabilities and people who require a more flexible environment.

Building Access

 

Wheelchair Access
Project Arts Centre is completely accessible for wheelchair users. Please note that outside the building there is wide footpath, the road and surrounding streets have a cobblestone surface. The entrance to our building has an automated access door and both of our performance spaces have the facility for wheelchair spaces. Please advise our box office team when booking or leave a comment at checkout on your online order if you require a wheelchair seat or have any specific requirements.

 

Guide Dogs
Guide dogs are permitted to performances, please advise our box office if you intend to attend with a guide dog. Water can be made available for guide dogs.

 

Early Entry
If you would like early entry to the auditorium please let a member of our box office team know at least 30 minutes before the show so that we can accommodate you.

 

Strobe Lighting
Please be aware that some of our performances contain flashing lights and strobe lighting. This information will be outlined on all of our performance listings, please contact box office if you require further information.
