I am interested in this topic as well. If you have participated in theatre,
can you discuss your experiences on this list or by writing to me at
cape.amanda at gmail.com.
Thanks,


Amanda

call about extracurricular activities that students can participate in to
have fun and develop meaningful connections. We have someone talking about
participating in sports, and are looking for someone else to talk to us
about how they participate in theater. Many blind students are not expected
to perform on stage in productions because teachers and directors are
concerned about the amount of movement involved, dancing, falling off the
stage, and a myriad of other reasons. Many blind students are afraid of
learning the dances, getting facial expressions right, and do not know how
to navigate without looking blind on stage. If anyone has experience in this
arena, we would love to hear from you. Our conference call will be Saturday,
June 29 at 8:00 PM. If you are available and willing to speak about your
experience with performing arts, please reach out.
