Cultural Access New England presents "An Introduction to Audio Description: Making your Cultural Program and Experience Accessible to People who are Blind or Have Low-Vision", December 12, 2013 10:00am - 2:00pm, Wheelock College.
Cultural organizations can use audio description throughout their programs to make the experience more meaningful and engaging to people who are blind, have low vision or experience other barriers to text. This workshop will familiarize participants with various approaches that cultural organizations are using. We will share examples of audio description in live theater, recorded tours and live gallery settings. You will have the opportunity to explore with experienced colleagues how audio description might work for your organization. While you will not leave with all the skills you need to start providing audio description, you will have a list of the resources you will need and a vision for how to proceed.
The meeting will be held at Wheelock College. Details provided when you register. Buy lunch in the cafeteria or you are welcome to bring your own. The registration fee is $10. Register using the form below or visit audiodescription.eventbrite.com.
