Touch Tour

Touch Tour

A touch tour is usually held before an audio described performance to provide context about the show and to allow blind and partially sighted members of the audience to familiarise themselves with the design of the space, costumes and props ahead of the show itself.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING A TOUCH TOUR?

Audience members get the chance to walk on the stage before the theatre opens and can touch and feel props, costumes and physical pieces of the set.

Audio Describers and Northern Stage staff will be present to answer any questions and share descriptions or interpretations of the space..
