Access Key Information NEoN Digital Arts endeavours to make the festival as welcoming and easy to engage with as possible. If there is anything we can do to make your experience more enjoyable please don’t hesitate to get in touch at neon'at'northeastofnorth 'dot' com and we will try our best to help. You can also contact us via our contact form here. All events in our programme have a clear ‘Access’ section that identifies any additional support systems that are in place. We have designed an 'Access Key' as a useful navigational tool to help identify which projects you may be interested in. Access Key V - Highly Visual / Minimal or No Text Projects with this tag will be highly visual and contain minimal or no text. VT - Highly Visual / With Text Projects with this tag will be highly visual and contain text. The text is currently not compatible with a screen reader. S - Sound Based Projects with this tag will be sound-based, either audio works best experienced online or predominantly text/sound-based performances that have minimal visuals. CC - Captioned Projects marked CC will have live, or pre-recorded captions in English. These captions will express all text spoken. For some of the events, the captions maybe be optional and instructions on how to turn on the captions will be clearly described on the individual show pages. BSL - Interpreted Events marked BSL will be interpreted by British Sign Language interpreters. On each event page, it will list whether the Interpretation is happening live, or filmed separately & edited in. ML - Multilingual Google Translate will also be available to translate text. AD - Audio Description Audio description, or AD, is a spoken track that runs alongside the main broadcast providing a blind or partially sighted person with a description of the visual things happening on screen. AD is used where there is no dialogue from the program during silent periods. It describes elements like facial expressions, movement, gestures, body language and activity. The voice used for AD is a real person. AU - Audio Recording Text will be available as a sound recording. There will be a recording of a real person reading the text and available as an audio file to listen to. TTS - Text to Speech Text-to-speech is a software feature that reads text and converts it into synthesized speech. Also includes screen reader compatibility. Content Notes We have included 'content notes' on the individual event pages. These will highlight if the project includes reference to or contains strong language, sexual references, nudity, violence, alcohol or substance addiction or any other scenes we think some viewers may find upsetting. We appreciate this list is not comprehensive and encourage you to confidentially get in touch if there is a particular subject matter not listed you wish to avoid.About Dundee Getting about Dundee https://www.dundeewaterfront.com/about/getaboutdundee Getting to Dundee https://www.dundee.com/node/171 We also recommend Ewan’s Guide.

This site is an invaluable tool for everything from planning a day out, to picking a last-minute place for coffee or lunch.
