Hot Jam Music has had the privilege of working with Valley Veterans and the Taf Ely Veteran Support Group for several years. During this time, we have supported veterans in writing original songs that reflect their individual experiences and emotions. In addition, we have facilitated jam sessions which have led to the formation of a fantastic band, who have performed at a number of fundraising and seasonal events.
We are delighted to be a part of the Rhondda Arts Festival and are especially pleased to be performing following the official opening of the new veterans’ memorial.
We look forward to showcasing the talents of the veterans. The programme will include two videos featuring songs written and recorded by members of the groups, highlighting the challenges faced by veterans in everyday life. These pieces offer a compelling and moving insight into their experiences. This will be followed by a live performance from the veterans’ band, featuring a selection of well-loved songs.
Audio description is a live commentary interspersed with the actors' dialogue. This is relayed via a headset linked to the infra-red audio system. There is a short 'programme notes' session, before the production, which explains the atmosphere, costumes, characters and action.
BSL
British Sign Language Performance
Signed performances are ideal for those who use sign language. Trained British Signed Language (BSL) signers usually stand to one side of the stage and interpret the script used by the performers at the same time as it is being performed.
R
Relaxed Screening/Performance
Open to everyone, but particularly appropriate for anyone who may find the usual theatre/cinema environment challenging, due to an Autism Spectrum Condition, a learning disability, or a fear of the dark, loud noises or confined spaces.
Relaxed Performances/Screenings provide a relaxed environment, where elements are adapted to reduce anxiety or stress. Lighting and sound levels are adjusted to soften their impact and there is a relaxed attitude to noise and leaving and re-entering the auditorium during the performance/screening.
Designated 'chill-out' areas are provided outside the auditorium with activities for people to use if being in the auditorium becomes overwhelming for them.
T
Touch Tour
A Touch Tour is ideal for blind and partially-sighted audiences to familiarise themselves with the set ahead of the performance.
C
Captioned Screening/Performance
Captions display dialogue on-screen (similar to subtitles) and also describe the audio or sound portion of a film/performance allowing audience members who are D/deaf or hard of hearing to follow the script and the action of the film/performance at the same time.
For live performances, the screen is positioned at the side of the stage.
