Any and every show at Tiny Fest is available to be entered and exited at will: no lockouts and you are permitted to leave at any time. Please let our FOH staff know if you think you would like to come and go.

If you have accessibility needs, there is an option when buying tickets to let us know, or please email us with any questions or requirements.

Service animals are more than welcome at Tiny Fest. If you have any questions about bringing them along, please get in touch.

Support person or companion

If you require a support person for any reason, please email us to request a discounted companion ticket.

We have Easy-to-Read documents available for a number of shows available on request. We are happy to chat about which shows are suitable for you and your communities.

Many shows have trigger warnings, including loud noises and content themes. Information for each work can be found on the artist’s pages on our website.

Tiny Fest does not have a hearing loop available for any of our shows. However, we can reserve seats closest to the front on request, seat you to the best place to sit to hear the performance, or recommend shows that do not rely on sound.

Tiny Fest will not have any audio descriptions available for the live performances but is working to make available video recordings of shows in the future with audio descriptions as well as closed captions. We are able to recommend shows that do not rely on visuals.

Please be in touch if you are interested in being part of creating audio descriptions of Tiny Fest performances.

All Tiny Fest shows are livestreamed and tickets are available here. The livestream is available for watching for up to three weeks after the festival.

Thank you for your patience as we work towards full accessibility for all our performances.

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.”

Disability Justice – a working draft by Patty Berne, 2015

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
