Services and accessibility

The Kuyum Dance Platform program consists of 15 performances, 5 of which are accompanied by audio description: Wireless headphones are used to describe what is happening on stage during the performance. More information on our program.

This is to enable the blind and people with visual impairments to access the visual elements of a play: movements, gestures, facial expressions, stage design, costumes, and props are described.
