Conference at brut Nordwest on 16 March, 2024

Aesthetics and conditions of accessibility; access dramaturgy, creative audio description and tactile guidances, Sign Language and surtitling, designing caring, sustainable structures, breaks, snacks, and rooms for retreat – all this and more will be on schedule on March 16th 2024 as part of the imagetanz festival. Not just because it’s nice and exciting, creates new and innovative things, and on various levels enriches processes in art and society at large, but also because uninhibited access on all levels is a basic right of disabled, chronically ill, crip, neurodivergent, deaf, hearing-impaired, blind, and visually impaired people.

Hosts: Tanja Erhart & Julischka Stengele / Guests: Pam Eden, Eva Egermann & Cordula Thym, Katharina ‘Senki’ Senk, Liv Schellander, Noa Winter – The Art of Access: Creating and Shaping Accessibility

Short introductory lectures, open discussions, and a film screening of C-TV and sensual elements will be part of this conference, providing cause and motivation to join forces in creating anti-ableist approaches and making the presence and future of the performance/dance world accessible to all.
