Subverting the format of a touch tour, this sumptuous work invites audiences to participate in a series of touch encounters with unknown objects, materials and matter. A touch tour is usually held before an Audio-Described performance of a theatre production 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.

As this is a newly commissioned woak, the company are compiling a Pre-Show Information Document to share with audiences in advance. Content notes, including what happens in the show, are included in the document. The information below is to help you decide if Sleight of Hand is for you.

Please note

- This show is participatory and will require you to take part in the work, touching items and using your senses.

- Please arrive on time. Each show will start at the allocated time. This is a limited capacity performance, if you can’t make it, please cancel in advance to allow others the opportunities to take part.

Arch is a highly visual performance and can be enjoyed without the aid of hearing. A choir sings as part of the performance although no words or lyrics are sung.

The show has an inclusive approach to noise and movement coming from the audience. People are welcome to wriggle, move, stim, or respond in any way that is natural for them. You are free to come and go from your seat, to use the toilet or decompress and return at any time.
