Creative Access in Circus
Hosted by Amy Amantea
Can the sound of the body enhance the visual experience for audiences who are blind or low vision?
When the sound of a moving body: spinning, inverting and more, is combined with a descriptive narrative, can it enhance the experience of circus arts? Erin Ball and Maxime Beauregard will join us to share “the early days” of experimentation and play.
