This workshop focuses on collaborative creative approaches to functional accessibility in performance arts, providing ways to think outside of box-checking accessibility and exploring the symbiotic aspects in which accessibility can enhance an artistic work. Offering multiple ways to engage with the information, Erin and Maxime will share various types of creative accessibility that they have explored through the journey of their artistic practice, what has worked and what has not. The artists will share about traditional forms of accessibility and creative forms of accessibility.
