Singapore Repertory Theatre Announces Workshop on Creative Captioning Training for Arts and Cultural Events

Are you passionate about making accessibility in the arts happen? Would you like to experience and learn more about captioning possibilities for performance and cultural events?

As part of SRT's commitment to accessibility, the company will offer comprehensive training in captioning for the arts, led by Access Path Productions. The full-day workshop will introduce participants to the basics of creating creative captioning for a theatre performance, with hands-on practice on an upcoming theatre production at SRT. The sessions will prepare you with the knowledge and skills needed to utilise captioning in a professional context, and in supporting access to events for diverse audiences.

Captioning is about creating equal opportunities and access for the d/Deaf and hard of hearing community to experience arts and culture. Creative captioning that is artistically presented on stage and beyond can be an integral part of creative expression, and it is a much-needed recognition of the different ways in which an audience member could access information.

Why Attend:

• Be equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to utilise captioning in a professional context

• Learn how captioning can be creatively presented on stage to form an integral part of the audience's experience

• Play a part in making arts and cultural events accessible to diverse audiences, giving them the opportunity to experience such events
