[Art_beyond_sight_educators] A New Kind of Listening audio described

[Lisa Yayla]

In the Durham-Raleigh area this weekend

The "A New Kind of Listening" film at the Carolina will be 
audio-described, so if you have blind/low-vision friends and family, 
invite them to attend. Audio description means that the visual activity 
of a theatre event -- including basic things like what a person looks 
like, or set design -- is described, in real time, so that ALL partons 
can fully enjoy the performance.

It is particularly meaningful that a film like this new Dalsheimer 
documentary is audio-described, given its subject matter of inclusivity.

Blind/low-vision patrons can request a listening device at the door. If 
you use this service and enjoy it, ask your local theatre to offer it 
more frequently. The organization providing the service is Arts Access.
