SIGNAL AND NOISE

What is this shape?

By Jess Shane

Please listen to the first 3 minutes for a sense of each piece.

Synopsis: We generally think about dance as being something you go and see, but iele paloumpis and their collaborators have developed an approach to audio description (AD) for dance that goes way beyond the verbal version of the visual that is traditional for AD for live performance. This piece interrogates how a holistic approach to AD can transform the audience experience for everyone, and how access can be an art form in and of itself.

Produced in collaboration with iele paloumpis, Seta Morton, Krishna Washburn, and Alejandra Ospina. Featuring music by Dan Pencer.
