Audio description consultants will learn about their rights as professionals, the role of blind audio description consultants will be discussed, and models will be shared demonstrating how true artistic excellence can be achieved when all parties involved in the audio description process understand their role and purpose. </p><p style="margin: 0; word-wrap: break-word; overflow-wrap: break-word; line-height: 1.5; text-align: left;"><b><strong style="white-space: pre-wrap;">June 6: Experimentation in Vocal Tonality for Audio Description for Dance </strong></b></p><p style="margin: 0; word-wrap: break-word; overflow-wrap: break-word; line-height: 1.5; text-align: left;">Most audio description used to support television and film is recorded with a neutral tone of voice. However, we here in the Dark Room propose that dance is a very different art form that deserves a different approach to audio description. Be ready to listen to some interesting examples of audio description, practice using the voice expressively, and pair sound and movement together in artistically effective ways. </p><p style="margin: 0; word-wrap: break-word; overflow-wrap: break-word; line-height: 1.5; text-align: left;"><b><strong style="white-space: pre-wrap;">June 13: Script Preparation Strategies for Audio Description for Dance \u2013 Multiple Pathways! </strong></b></p><p style="margin: 0; word-wrap: break-word; overflow-wrap: break-word; line-height: 1.5; text-align: left;">Where do audio description scripts come from? It depends! This workshop will discuss multiple approaches to getting started on an audio description script, depending on multiple factors: access to artists involved with the project, prior knowledge, type of audience, style of performance, timeframes, and so on and so forth. This is a great introduction to script writing for audio description novices, and a great opportunity for audio description fans to express themselves. </p><p style="margin: 0; word-wrap: break-word; overflow-wrap: break-word; line-height: 1.5; text-align: left;"><b><strong style="white-space: pre-wrap;">June 20: Finding Purpose: The Logic of Arts Communication in Audio Description for Dance (BRAND NEW CURRICULUM!) </strong></b></p><p style="margin: 0; word-wrap: break-word; overflow-wrap: break-word; line-height: 1.5; text-align: left;">Audio description for dance is an art form, it is dance made manifest in the voice and in language. As a former teacher of formal logic and language analysis, Krishna presents ways to use the logic of language to decode what artists say about their work, how the logic of language can be used to understand the artistic priorities of any specific dance project, and how to check your audio description scripts for logical flow, keeping audiences confidently immersed in the performance. </p><p style="margin: 0; word-wrap: break-word; overflow-wrap: break-word; line-height: 1.5; text-align: left;"><b><strong style="white-space: pre-wrap;">June 27: Yeah, But Was It Good?

Students are going to get to listen to many, many examples of audio description for dance, and talk about what works and what doesn\u2019t work, and what we might change in order to improve it. </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; }
