Black Swan State Theatre Company is strengthening its commitment to accessibility for people who are blind or have low vision, with the release of its 2026 season audio brochure.
The audio brochure provides blind and low vision audiences with detailed, accessible information about Black Swan’s upcoming season, ensuring that patrons can independently explore productions, key dates and access options. This initiative reflects Black Swan’s broader desire to create a more welcoming theatre experience and remove barriers to participation in the arts.
The audio brochure forms part of a growing accessibility partnership between Black Swan State Theatre Company and Vision Australia Radio, built on a shared commitment to inclusion and representation in cultural spaces. Through this partnership, Black Swan is working to ensure that more people who are blind or have low vision can engage with live theatre, from discovering shows to attending performances.
In addition to accessible program information, Black Swan continues to offer a range of audio described performances, giving audiences live narration of visual elements on stage. These performances, alongside other access initiatives, are designed to ensure blind and low vision patrons can fully enjoy the storytelling, atmosphere and creativity of theatre.
Black Swan’s commitment extends beyond access services to meaningful collaboration. By promoting its work on Vision Australia Radio as a sponsor, and by embracing Vision Australia Radio as a media partner, the company is reinforcing its dedication to inclusive communication and community engagement.
Listeners to Vision Australia Radio can expect to hear more from Black Swan in the months ahead, including news, interviews and reviews connected to the theatre’s 2026 season. Coverage will highlight productions, artists, and accessibility initiatives, helping blind and low vision audiences stay informed and connected to Western Australia’s flagship theatre company.
