ACCESS....: FREE
FORMAT....: Web
Alice Sheppard's disability dance company built Audimance, an app that gives audiences several descriptive tracks to choose from and blend in real time: poetic description, screenplay-style description, soundscape, and the sounds of the dancers' bodies in space. It reframes AD from "telling blind audiences what happens" to giving them tools to build their own experience. A landmark in creative access.
