Learn how to discern which programs are high quality, anti-ableist, and worth your family's investment, how to advocate for your child when programs leave something to be desired, and what sorts of resources are available to support arts educators working with blind and visually impaired youth. This seminar includes time for discussion about specific programs and general question and answer time. Also, experience a demonstration of movement education that is designed specifically for the educational needs of blind and visually impaired people and which de-centers sight. Seminar is taught by Krishna Washburn of Dark Room Ballet.<br></div><div dir="ltr">> <br></div><div dir="ltr">> You won't want to miss the Panel Discussion we have planned, beginning at 7:00.<br></div><div dir="ltr">> <br></div><div dir="ltr">> <br></div><div dir="ltr">> The panel will feature Blind Professional Artists including<br></div><div dir="ltr">> •Katelyn McEntire, President of the National Federation of the Blind Performing Arts Division.<br></div><div dir="ltr">> Katelyn is a multitalented artist.
