Selecting the right event for your class
We know that the Festival Program is exhaustive, and it can be hard to decide the best show, workshop, or activity for the students in your class. The team at DreamBIG are happy to chat you through performance options, including reasonable adjustments that we can make to accommodate the needs of your class.
Please email us at dreambig.ticketing@adelaidefestivalcentre.com.au, and we'll get in touch!
Visual Stories
Visual stories (also known as Social Stories) are learning tools for children who may need help learning ways of behaving in unfamiliar social settings. Visual stories do this by explicitly showing the reader details about a location or event, what happens at that event, and what actions and behaviours are expected from them at the event. DreamBIG has created social stories for many of our performances and installations for teachers and parents to share with children who might need help preparing for participating in the festival.
You can see the visual stories below.
If you would like us to collate a social story specific to your experience at DreamBIG, we are more than happy to do so please email us at DreamBIG@adelaidefestivalcentre.com.au.
Easy English and Plain Text programs
This year, the DreamBIG team have developed a Plain English program and an Easy English program.
Plain Text
- Plain Text documents are read using screen readers. This PDF can be easily converted to other file types to suit your requirements.
Easy English
- Easy English is an accessible and alternative form of communication. It has a distinct format that is simple to read.
- It is for people who have difficulties reading and understanding English. It helps people with:
- Low literacy
- Intellectual disabilities
- English as a second language
- This is a word document that can be edited to suit your school community.
