Led by Alice Christina-Corrigan, this free workshop is for theatre makers and performance artists at any stage of career.
This interactive, fun and creative workshop will focus on creative captioning and audio description for live performance. Breaking down what these access provisions are and providing hands-on experience using affordable creative tools. We’ll look at different styles of captioning and audio description, create examples of work and incorporate projections and tech, with time for a Q&A at the end.
