As part of the open rehearsal, interested parties will be given an insight into what participants in the workshop Dramaturgy Blind Inclusive have been working on over the last four days. Initial scenic sketches will be shared and discussed in a small group.

Anyone who is curious and has always wanted to know what audio description actually means in practice and how dance and performance feels and can be experienced by visually impaired and blind audiences is cordially invited to attend.
Interested people can give feedback on the presentation afterwards. But simply experiencing and enjoying is also expressly welcome!

The open rehearsal is part of the workshop Dramaturgy Blind Inclusive, but can be attended free of charge and without taking part in the workshop itself.

 

Fia/Sophia Neises is a freelance performer, choreographer, access dramaturge, theatre educator and disability-rights activist. In her artistic research, she has focussed for almost ten years now on aesthetic accessibility for blind audiences. In 2023, she was honoured for extraordinary developments in dance as part of the German Dance Award for her activist work in favour of more inclusion. She identifies as a disabled artist and proposes that people’s individual styles of perception should be valued and unconditional access to art should be provided already during the creation process.

Liv Schellander is a dancer/performer, choreographer, Somatic Experiencing (SE)® practitioner and facilitator. She collaborates with artists in various constellations, teaches and produces her own creations. More recently, she has been increasingly exploring multi-sensorial art creation in the performing arts. Since 2022 she has been collaborating with Michael Turinsky, and in 2023 co-created the dance performance With Or Without You with Fia/Sophia Neises, which shares spaces of access intimacy. Since 2023, Schellander has been developing her practice of ‘Choreo-Constellating’, which is artistically explored and implemented as part of various projects. Her collaborative project Animalariums’ Constellations was selected for Perform Europe 2025. www.livschellander.com
