This event introduces haptic vests, wearable devices that translate music into vibration, offering audiences an alternative sensory experience and expanding access for d/Deaf, disabled and neurodivergent attendees.
The performances are relaxed to enable audiences to try the haptic vests, move freely, and come and go during the music. A breakout space will be available throughout for anyone who would like a quieter moment or a creative activity away from the main space.
The night opens with an upbeat set from Sarah Jane Morris known for her powerful voice and dynamic performance style with The Communards, together with her trio Tony Remy. Marcus Bonfanti and Henry Thomas.
After a short interval, Deaf Rave takeover with a high energy drum and bass set from Deaf DJs including DJ Jeffo.
Audiences can dance, explore the technology or simply enjoy the atmosphere.
Recommended for ages 14+, this event welcomes d/Deaf, disabled and neurodivergent audiences as well as the wider community, offering a rare chance to discover how vibration, rhythm and movement can transform the way we experience sound.
