Accessibility

Tone List are in a slow process of building concepts of accessibility and cultural safety into the foundations of how we operate. We work with peer artists Patrick Gunasekera and Zali Morgan towards these aims.

Some of the things we do include: clear communication about ventilation, sound volume and density, crowdedness, lighting, wheelchair access and terrain for each show. We don’t use strobes or fast flashing lights. We provide free earplugs and masks. We host shows with snacks and healthy food, and alcohol-free shows. We have shows that are kid-friendly, all-ages, and shows at times that are easier for parents to attend. We have party aunties on staff at busy shows. We put up content warnings.

Tone List have a small budget to facilitate accessibility requirements for our audience members. We have an existing partnership with Auslan Stage Left who can provide on-stage interpreting for events on request. We are happy to assist with accessible taxi bookings for safe transport to and from events. Other services or providers may be requested and we will do our best to accommodate. We encourage you to get in contact as early as possible to ensure we can coordinate services in time.
