Studio 1

Getting inside

As you come up the main entrance stairs S1 is the second door on the left, through a single manual door. Please be careful when entering before stated start time as other classes use the space.

Once inside, you will be required to take off your shoes to access most of the floor area, as it is covered in specialist flooring. Please speak to us in advance if you think this might be an issue. A shoe rack and coat hooks are provided near the room entrance, but can get quite full - please feel free to use the ballet bars in the room for your coats and bags as well.

Food and drink

There is a small kitchenette within the studio, with a sink, kettle, mugs and plastic cups.

Access for D/deaf, hard of hearing and sound sensitive people

It is not uncommon for us to get background noise music from dance classes being led in other parts of the studio. There is a large air conditioning unit with heating, which is rather noisy when turned on, but we use it sparingly. We usually turn it off at least during demonstrations and talks, but please speak to a crew member if you need further assistance.

Access for Blind, visually impaired and light-sensitive people

ROH – workshop events

The room is lit brightly with uncovered fluorescent lights. They do not tend to flicker, but we cannot guarantee that they are fully flicker free. There are a couple of small, highly positioned windows in the room, but most of the light is artificial source and constant level, provided by ceiling lights.

RopeSpace – play events

We turn off the overhead lights in favour of mood lighting provided by standing lamps and (many, many) fairy lights. If you have any concerns about this or might require additional lighting please message us at least a week before the event and we can discuss arrangements.

Other access information

The space is not well insulated, so it can get quite hot in the summer and quite cold in the winter. We advise layering up so you can adjust your clothing to your comfort levels and to consider bringing a blanket.

There is a big air conditioning unit with heating, and when turned out it can sometimes cause the temperature to get too much in the other direction, though we do try to keep it balanced. It is also quite noisy so we might need to pause it during demonstrations and talks for noise accessibility.
