Audrey-Anne Bouchard and the Au-delà du visuel team offer a workshop that provides tools for bringing dance and theatre to a visually-impaired audience. In the workshop, participants are invited to question what the stage communicates when it is not seen, but experienced, and how gesture is perceived when it is not observed, but felt or heard.

The “beyond visual” method allows artists to dive into a collaborative and inclusive creative context to explore new techniques, multisensory strategies, and states of presence that can be applied to all aspects of their practice. This immersive approach helps artists learn to communicate their art through tactile and auditory experiences, among others.
