As part of Extant’s Hub Building programme we have partnered with venues across the UK to deliver awareness training that provides theatre staff with the knowledge and skills to improve services for their Visually Impaired audience members, including learning how to sighted guide.

Training was delivered by Extant’s trained visually impaired practitioners at each of our touring venues for our 2019 production of Flight Paths, and our 2016 production of The Chairs which toured to: Harlow Playhouse, The Curve, Mac Birmingham, Theatr Clywd, The Lowry, The Albany, and Stratford Circus. We have also previously run training for staff at Sadlers Wells in London, Brighton Fringe Festival and The Royal Shakespeare Company.

If you are an arts venue interested in our work and would like to take part in Venue Awareness or hosting our workshops then please get in touch by writing to [email protected]
