Accessibility to the Scenic Arts

Is your show accessible? When we ask about accessibility to shows, most people think about access for wheel chairs: the sitting arrangements and where their WC is accessible. When we ask for more details, people usually think about producing a show where persons with disabilities are performing, for example producing a show where there is some dancing with people on wheel chairs. Accessiblity for us is a comprehensive concept that goes from purchasing a ticket through an accessible website to catching the bus back home after the performance on accessible public transport. Accessible webs, accessible web content, accessible transport, subtitling, audio description... the possiblities are endless. Why is this course useful? To make the venue and the production accessible to all citizens, and specially to persons with disablities. The course will go through the many accessible services you can offer, and how to implement them in your venue or your production. The final aim is to mainstream accessibility so all people have equal access to culture.

MANAGEMENT

In this unit, the participants learn about managing accessibility in a cultural venue or on a cultural event. They learn to plan and coordinate, they learn to communicate about accessibility and gather user feedback to be able to look into some aftercare. While managing these things they also think about solving conflicts and managing a team of coworkers. In the different learning materials of which the unit is composed, the participant is presented with charts to help managing the accessibility and with tips and tricks to do so via reading materials and video lessons.

Coordinating an event sometimes is more than making things happen.

In some cases, we also have the possibility to think outside the box and go further.

After all, we are making cultural events,

so we also can be creative.

We're going to take a look at some examples of add-ons and ways to

experiment with all those senses to create another layer of understanding.

CymaSpace is a non-profit performance VNU and technology incubator in Portland Oregon.

The mission is to make the performing arts more accessible and inclusive to Deaf and Hard

of Hearing communities by supporting

the development of projects and the education programs,

translating sound waves into visual and tactile phenomena

in presenting these works in live performances.

They believe that when artist improve more senses,

their work is not only more accessible and inclusive,

but also more engaging and exciting.

They have developed an open source,

digital lighting system called Aldy looks,

that allows the deaf and hard of hearing to see music and

alerts using LEDs to showcase the music being played.

When played, the piano keys create notes that

resonate a different frequencies in amplitudes.

These all the information is then analyzed and

translate into different light colors and movement.

More information is available on

the CymaSpace website for which we provide the link below.

In midair stroke in Barcelona,

we have made several versions of Hackathons.

A Hackathon is an event where designers, creators, programmers,

and in this case also artist,

gather to develop and show projects with a specific purpose.

All Hackathon are about accessibility to

the performing arts for the blind and all the deaf.

We aim at an artistic and experimental view of

accessibility and the idea of including more layers that are already known in this field.

Let's have a look at some prototypes and projects.

The sound of this skin is the name of Felix Binion's installation,

where the artist invites expectators to explore

their own limits when they enter into contact with all the people.

Using two switches equipped with sensors,

viewers can directly influence the sound and color of the installation itself,

which are modified as the degree of physical proximity increases.

Another example is a prototype of a textile that is able to

spread sand and heat to create experiences for all those senses.

This was made in collaboration with ST School of Design.

The symbiotic festival used balloons that vibrate in accordance with the sound.

As you see, these are just some examples and experiments of what

creative people are developing in the context of the senses.

Some of these experiments are easier to take arrayed in a show than others.

But we hope these will open your mind and encourage

you to be more creative if this is possible where you are.

If you are interested in this subject,

maybe you can also do some research to see what is feasible in your context.

Maybe there are similar projects in your part of the work.

So reach out and make contact.
