  • Relaxed Setting
  • Audio description

Join Quiplash to explore what it means to integrate audio description into performance, queerly. This will be done over two 4-hour sessions taking place at Gessnerallee. If you are completely new to audio description, don’t worry! We’ve got you covered. We will start with a whistle stop tour through disability awareness and disability justice, then we will talk through different methods of audio description including our own methodology, queer AD. Finally, we will give you ample space to start exploring how to make audio description a creative tool that is integral to your work. This session will be practical, so please come with a willingness to move, play and try new things.

The workshop will take place as a relaxed event. This means that people are welcome to move, make noise, stim or step out if they need to. We will be offering different options for sitting and/or lying down in the workshop space. There will be a 30-minute break after 1,5 hours every day.
