AYLESBURY WATERSIDE THEATRE TO HOST FIRST
S.E.N.D NIGHT CLUB EXPERIENCE
As part of Aylesbury Waterside Theatre’s commitment to accessibility and theatre for all, the venue has announced they will be co-hosting their first S.E.N.D Night Club Experience on Sat 6 Nov with award-winning DJ, Dan Blaze.
The party night for teens & adults aged 15+ with learning difficulties / disabilities will give partygoers the chance to dance, sing & practice life skills in a controlled, safe and fully accessible environment.
Guests can expect music old & new with plenty of sing-along classics on the big screen, there will be a bar and soft drinks station with sweets, snacks & glow sticks, lots of UV Lighting perfect for the neon face painting, plus a photo booth & more! All disco effects will be specially programmed to be safe for those with photosensitive epilepsy. The event will be volume monitored and won’t be too loud with a chill out space with sensory activities available anyone who needs a break
Theatre Director, Sophie Denney said of the event: ‘We are incredibly lucky to have a fully accessible venue, and this is a great way to showcase it whilst inviting members of the community to enjoy an experience that otherwise may not be readily available to them. We continue to offer equal access for everyone and proudly support the Sunflower Lanyard initiative enabling those with a hidden disability who may require additional help to be easily recognised and assisted as needed. We hope this will be the first of many S.E.N.D party nights, a very welcome addition to our packed programme of shows this Autumn.’
DJ Dan Blaze was recently honoured with a ‘Lockdown Hero Award’ by the Mayor of Aylesbury for his online broadcasts throughout lockdown both on radio and online TV. It was such a wonderful service helping to keep people connected in care homes and others in isolated situations across Buckinghamshire, most importantly, the broadcasts kept spirits high in a fun, friendly and safe atmosphere.
DJ Dan said: ‘I’m very excited to be back partying in public and even more so that we can host this event in such a wonderful venue! Many of us took our teens for granted, being able to go out to the pub on a weekend with our mates whenever we felt like it. These events offer a controlled environment so teens and adults with learning difficulties / disabilities can enjoy a night out ‘clubbing’ with their friends in a way they simply could not do in a regular bar or club. The night club experience events offer guests a way to gain vital life skills in a fun & safe way.’
