Access and Inclusion

“A Disability Justice framework understands that all bodies are unique and essential, that all bodies have strengths and needs that must be met.”

No photographs or videos are to be taken at any time during the performances. Tiny Fest has an official photographer taking photos during each show. The livestream is recording video of every performance.

Tiny Fest is committed to providing a safe space for artists, crew, and audiences. You can find our policy here.

A Disability Justice framework understands that all bodies are unique and essential, that all bodies have strengths and needs that must be met. We know that we are powerful not despite the complexities of our bodies, but because of them. We understand that all bodies are caught in these bindings of ability, race, gender, sexuality, class, nation state and imperialism, and that we cannot separate them. These are the positions from where we struggle. We are in a global system that is incompatible with life. There is no way stop a single gear in motion — we must dismantle this machine.”

Tiny Fest is committed to providing a platform for experimental performance in Ōtautahi Christchurch and for supporting sustainable careers for professional artists. Accessibility is an essential, vital, and incredible aspect of being RAW REAL, and RADICAL.

We are working towards improving the overall accessibility of the festival and we would like to hear from you regarding your needs and how we can do better. Please send accessibility feedback to virginia@tinyfest.org
