Aesthetics of Access: Audiodeskription

How can dance be translated into language? How can movement, bodies, and space be described in ways that make dance accessible to different modes of perception?

The workshop Aesthetics of Access: Audio Description understands accessibility as an artistic and collective practice and explores how artistic processes can emerge from the perspectives of blind and visually impaired people. Drawing on approaches of Aesthetics of Access, participants will collectively explore different ways of experiencing dance and performance. Audio description serves as one method among many to think about language, perception, movement, and access.

The workshop is led by Annika Jakobs ([short description of Annika]). Through practical exercises, participants will engage with perception, description, bodies, space, and the question of how accessibility can be considered as an artistic practice rather than simply a tool of mediation. The workshop also includes a short introduction to the network Making a Difference.

Afterwards, all participants will attend the audio-described performance A Good Man is Hard to Find by BULLYACHE at Sophiensæle as part of the international performance festival Never Work.

The workshop and performance visit are free of charge. The workshop is open to sighted, blind, and visually impaired participants between the ages of 16 and 27.

The workshop takes place as part of the workshop series speaking dance by Future Move e.V., in cooperation with Sophiensæle and the network Making a Difference.

Registration here.
