Noting the content and access solutions for the Ottawa Fringe Festival production of All Request Radio
Audience Care (Content)
As creator-producer, I actively uphold a pro-Black, pro-trans, pro-queer, and pro-disabled space. My work is anti-racist — and anti- (every other phobic position) weaponized against marginalized people
As an improvised show, the audience influences the content and the PG-13 show rating as much as I can as the performer
Additionally, because it is improvisation, neither you nor I will know if specific content becomes triggering. Please take care of yourself in the moment
If a suggestion is unruly, I will address it immediately. If the person who suggested it creates further disruption, they will be removed immediately, as per Ottawa Fringe Festival policies and processes
Audience Care (Access Solutions)
This show has a lot of talking and singing. The singing is amplified through the speakers accompanied by backing music
While the volume won’t be concert level, noise-cancelling headphones are encouraged if you are concerned about becoming over-stimulated
Velvet will verbally include some audio descriptions for Blind patrons, describing the performer description, stage movement, and the projected text
Performances will be ASL/English Interpreted (Katherine A. Sibun, primarily) and machine automated captioning
COVID-19 is still rampant in Ottawa. Therefore masks are required in the audience for this production
