The Importance of the WaterFire Access Program

At Dance Factory, we believe that art should be accessible to all individuals, regardless of their physical or cognitive abilities. Our WaterFire Access Program focuses on creating an inclusive environment for people with disabilities, ensuring they can fully participate and engage in performing arts. Through this program, we provide unique opportunities for individuals to experience the transformative power of dance and theater.

Creating Inclusive Experiences

With your donation to the WaterFire Access Program, you directly contribute to the provision of accessible performances and workshops tailored to meet the diverse needs of our community. Our team of talented artists and educators works tirelessly to create inclusive experiences that break down barriers and foster a sense of belonging for everyone.

We offer sensory-friendly performances, sign language interpretation, audio description, and wheelchair-accessible seating to ensure that individuals with various disabilities can fully engage with our performances. By providing these accommodations, we aim to eliminate the barriers that often prevent individuals from enjoying the arts.

Supporting Education and Outreach

In addition to performances, Dance Factory's WaterFire Access Program also focuses on educational initiatives to enhance inclusivity in the performing arts. We collaborate with schools, community centers, and organizations to provide workshops and training on inclusive dance and theater practices. Through these outreach efforts, we aim to empower individuals with disabilities, cultivate their creativity, and encourage their artistic expression.

Your donation directly supports the development of these educational initiatives, enabling us to reach a broader audience and create lasting change in the community. Together, we can build a more inclusive and equal society where the performing arts are accessible to everyone.
