The woman is dressed in a white shirt and gray pants and is captured in various poses—sitting, crouching, and lying down. The scene has a dreamlike or surreal quality, with the repeated figure suggesting themes of struggle, endurance, or contemplation.

Magic Mike Live: Access Card Provider Puts The Magic Into Accessibility

The image appears to depict a lively scene from a performance, likely related to "Magic Mike Live." It shows a woman in the center of the frame surrounded by a group of muscular, shirtless men. The men are smiling, laughing, and engaging with the woman in a celebratory atmosphere. There is confetti or play money flying around, enhancing the energetic and festive vibe. The lighting is colorful and dramatic, with purples, yellows, and warm tones illuminating the scene. The setting resembles a nightclub or performance venue, with a party-like atmosphere. The central focus is the woman who looks excited, possibly enjoying the interactive performance, and the men are in relaxed, playful poses, enhancing the entertainment and spectacle feel of the moment.

Nimbus Disability’s partnership with Hippodrome Casino

The Nimbus Access Card

The Hippodrome Casino in London is part of Nimbus Disability’s provider network, which includes some of the UK’s top venues, ticket operators and event organisers who regularly come together to share good practice about improving accessibility for disabled people at an event.

Nimbus is a social enterprise B2B consultancy, which is run by disabled people for disabled people and operator of the award-winning Access Card that is held by more than half a million disabled people and is recognised by more than 1,600 venues and events across the world who offer accessible tickets.

The Access Card is the first accessible ticketing scheme of its type in the world – offering a universal and consistent way for disabled people to evidence and communicate their needs to providers quickly and discreetly.

Powered by ‘NOS’, Nimbus Disability’s bespoke software, the system translates its holder’s disability/impairment/access requirements into symbols and when booking online, informs providers quickly and discreetly about the access requirements that individuals need.

Nimbus Disability’s director of partnerships Mark Briggs PLY said: “The Hippodrome Casino is a long-term partner with Nimbus and have integrated our bespoke software into their own ticket booking system.

“The growing provider network is a great opportunity for operators across a wide range of sectors from theatre and arenas to festivals and sports venues to come together with the sole focus on how we improve accessibility for everyone.

“We applaud the venue for going the extra mile in making this sell-out show even more accessible for audiences and we look forward to hearing more about the feedback from fans so that other venues can learn from their success.”

Advertise With Crip Life™

Crip Life™ Media PackThe Crip Life™ advertising strategy is “Pay What You Can (PWYC).” We know this is very different to most if not all, online magazines. PWYC is a business model that doesn’t insist upon set prices for its goods or services. Instead, it asks clients to pay what they feel the product or service is worth and what you can afford to pay.

We want to place adverts for a wide range of clients. So, whatever the size of the organisation, if you want to promote a product or service, contact Joanna Baker-Rogers.
