Physical Accessibility

Making events accessible for all means more people can participate in events at ONEONESIX:

ONEONESIX is a wheelchair accessible venue
ONEONESIX has ramps, right-sized door openings, seating arrangements, an accessible toilet etc.

NZSL interpreted events
We have good connections with the local Deaf community and can assist with getting events interpreted by an NZSL interpreter.

Companion ticket price 
As an event organiser, please consider companion tickets available at a discounted rate when accompanying a full price paying patron requiring companion support.

Sensory reduced performance
A sensory reduced performance is one that enables those with learning and or sensory communication difficulties to participate. People with conditions like these can find standard theatre performances overwhelming or unpleasant. Common triggers are darkness, loud music, sudden noises and a generally unfamiliar environment in which you’re expected to sit still and quiet for a long time.

The following suggestions can make performances more accessible, in particular for people with disorders, disabilities, or differences.

Possible adaptations:

• Adjust the lighting to be less dramatic
• ​Anticipate more families and more children in the audience
• Avoid spotlights on the audience
• Be cautious with stage smoke or fog
• Consider that patrons may move around more than usual during the screening
• Expect that the audience may make more noise during the performance
• Guarantee spots for wheelchair users, and people who use mobility devices and their companions
• Leave the house lights on or turned up
• Let the audience know when to expect a sensory-rich component:  e.g. loud or sudden noises, very bright or changing lights
• Permit patrons to bring their food or drink
• Permit patrons to move in and out of the room during the performance
• Reduce or eliminate scents
• Tell patrons what to expect during a relaxed performance
• Turn the volume level down
