By Erin Ball, Maxime Beauregard, Andrew Heule, Gaitrie Persaud-Killings, Jaideep Goray

ASL Interpretation    Relaxed Performance   Closed Captions Blind/Low Vision Watch/Listen Party

This Disability-led collaboration explores creative accessibility in aerial arts and music with a mash up of digital technologies and in-person tools. 

How can we create more welcoming environments for Disabled, Deaf, and hard-of-hearing artists and audiences?

How can digital offerings be more engaging and support folks who can’t participate in person?

These are just a few of the inquiries of Mash Up.  Audiences are encouraged to join the dialogue at the end of the presentation.
