In 2015 – 2016 learners from BLENNZ Auckland North received invitations from Tim Bray Productions to attend audio-described performances at The Pumphouse in Takapuna.
For some of our learners the trip to see these shows is their first experience of live theatre.
Tim Bray Productions always seat the learners in the front row; they provide an opportunity for a touch tour beforehand and an opportunity to meet the actors afterwards.
Then as the show starts the learners don headsets to listen to a wonderfully evocative audio description of everything that is happening on stage. The learners always have a great time and come out buzzing with questions and ideas, wanting to become involved more in the arts themselves and wondering what the next show will be.
