The performance will present extracts of work exploring sensory changes. “The Unheard ” is an immersive theatre piece by Northern Ireland based author Nessa Haynes about her experience of hearing loss in collaboration with Sonic Artist John D’Arcy.
We will also show an extract from the dance performance “Inside the Speaker” by Helen Hall, a partially sighted choreographer and dancer exploring what we see and what we sense when watching dance, what dance is and what it means to dance.
The practical workshop will be facilitated by dramaturg Hanna Slattne; it will look at how we explore artistically, through interdisciplinary collaboration, the subtle and personal experiences of change in how we perceive our world.
