H has reveled in a career that has allowed them the grace and flexibility to be always in transition, transforming their artistry and scholarship to suit the needs of the moment. And their current moment is building creative spaces and collaborations that embrace the aesthetic possibilities of multi-sensory art. H. is fortunate to have a spouse who is a professional sound designer and podcast producer.</p><p style="margin: 0; word-wrap: break-word; overflow-wrap: break-word; line-height: 1.5; text-align: left;"> </p><p style="margin: 0; word-wrap: break-word; overflow-wrap: break-word; line-height: 1.5; text-align: left;">Together they have been integrating sound into theatre productions for three decades, and have broadened this work into film and audio production over the past six years.

The film is fully audio described. "Awaiting Tiresias" was screened at the Great Lakes International Film Festival, the Together! Disability Film Festival, was a semi-finalist for the Blow-Up Arthouse Filmfest in Chicago, and won Disability Awareness and Contemporary Issues / Raising Awareness Awards of Merit from the IndieFEST Film Awards. They have also performed a livestream version of "Awaiting Tiresias" at multiple conferences, including the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts Digital Humanities Conference and the Digital Research in the Arts and Humanities Conference (UK). </p><p style="margin: 0; word-wrap: break-word; overflow-wrap: break-word; line-height: 1.5; text-align: left;"><br></p><p style="margin: 0; word-wrap: break-word; overflow-wrap: break-word; line-height: 1.5; text-align: left;">While H.'s work in the theatre has primarily been as a director, they have enjoyed learning among fellow professional artists at performance and devising workshops and residencies with Indy Convergence (2019), La MaMa Umbria International Directors Symposium (2014, 2017), Dell'Arte International Summer Intensive (2015), Pig Iron Theatre (2018), and Directors Labs North (2015) and West (2014, 2017). </p><p style="margin: 0; word-wrap: break-word; overflow-wrap: break-word; line-height: 1.5; text-align: left;"><br></p><p style="margin: 0; word-wrap: break-word; overflow-wrap: break-word; line-height: 1.5; text-align: left;">As an artist who has gone blind in the late stage of their career in a rural community with few other blind people (never mind in the theatre), H. has largely had to teach themself new approaches to theatre. They were thrilled to discover Dark Room Ballet a few years ago, the first blind community they'd experienced. </p><p style="margin: 0; word-wrap: break-word; overflow-wrap: break-word; line-height: 1.5; text-align: left;"><br></p><p style="margin: 0; word-wrap: break-word; overflow-wrap: break-word; line-height: 1.5; text-align: left;">Unsurprisingly, it was also the first audio description training they received that actually treated blind audiences as full collaborators and artists. They are honored and excited to be among the rotating faculty for Dark Room Ballet, where they can continue to learn in community with fellow blind and low-vision artists. </p><p style="margin: 0; word-wrap: break-word; overflow-wrap: break-word; line-height: 1.5; text-align: left;"><br></p><p style="margin: 0; word-wrap: break-word; overflow-wrap: break-word; line-height: 1.5; text-align: left;">* While they could use the term "legally blind," H. fights against medicalized gatekeeping and feels that "blindish" is a more accurate description of the way their sight fluctuates depending upon the circumstances. </p></div></div><div style="padding:8px 24px 8px 24px"><hr style="width:100%;border:none;border-top:1px solid #bfc3c8;margin:0"></div><div style="font-size:28px;padding:16px 24px 16px 24px"><div id="email-content-wrapper"><style>#email-content-wrapper h1 { font-size: 34px !important; line-height: 1.2 !important; }
