Arts Assembly
A conversation about dance, access and archiving performance.
Arts Assembly and Dancemakers have partnered to host a conversation on dance access, in particular for the blind / low vision community. Arts Assembly’s recent series two part series The Longest Way Round is the Shortest Way Home will be explored through this conversation, emphasizing the process and possibilities of programming and supporting inclusive dance, performance and visual art practices.
This talk is the launch of Arts Assembly’s archive recordings of The Longest Way Round is the Shortest Way Home which was intentionally designed with dance descriptions by Andrea Cownden in consultation with Amy Amantea.
