IDEAS NSW announces their competition for the hottest inclusive night club event in New South Wales, happening on the 27th August at Home Nightclub, Darling Harbour.

SenCity is a multi-sensory, multi-faceted, special event for people who are hearing impaired and deaf and with any other ability or disability.

During this spectacular event the emotions and passions of music are converted to all senses.

Special techniques employed at this event include an imported vibrating dance floor, so that people can really feel the music. The vibrating dance sensors are attached to the amplifiers so that the entire dance floor responds to the frequency of the music. Sign singers interpret lyrics.

Visual Jockeys, Food Jockeys and Aroma Jockeys are on hand to provide aroma compositions to interpret music for other senses.

The chill space has side performances to engage other senses like hairdressers, makeup artists and masseurs.
