Take Me Somewhere endeavours to make the festival as welcoming and easy to engage with as possible. If there is anything we can do to make your experience more enjoyable please don’t hesitate to get in touch at karl@takemesomewhere.co.uk or call 07834 751536 and we will try our best to help.
All performances in our programme have a clear ‘Access’ section which identifies any additional support systems that are in place.
For our 2021 edition, the majority of the projects will be presented online (with the exception of Barrowland Ballet's Family Portrait). We have designed an 'Access Key' as a useful navigational tool to help identify which projects you may be interested in.
Access Key
V - Highly Visual / No Text
Projects with this tag will be highly visual and contain minimal or no text.
S - Sound Based
Projects with this tag will be sound based, either audio works best experienced online, or predominantly text / sound based performances that have minimal visuals.
CC - Captioned
Projects marked CC will have live, or pre-recorded captions in English. These captions will express all text spoken, and any background sound that informs the action onscreen. For some of the performance the captions will be optional and instructions on how to turn on the cpations will be clearly described on the individual show pages.
BSL - Interpreted
Performances marked BSL will be interpreted by Hearing British Sign Language interpreters. On each show page it will list whether the Interpretation is happening live, or filmed separately & edited in.
Content Notes
We have included 'content notes' on the individual show pages. These will highlight if the project includes reference to; sexual violence, graphic violence, emotional abuse, child abuse, domestic abuse, miscarriage, terminated pregnancy, alcohol or substance addiction. We appreciate this list is not comprehensive and encourage you to confidentially get in touch if there is a particular subject matter not listed you wish to avoid.
Tramway
The only 'in-person' event in this years festival will be Barrowland Ballet's Family Portrait which will take place at Tramway. Tramway is a wheelchair accessible venue with both wheelchair accessible and gender neutral toilet facilities. There is currently no changing places toilet facility in the building.
