Project Aim
Jonathan Dunn explores ways in which film can become more of an inclusive tool for deaf and visually impaired audiences to access performance, using dance as the subject. The process will involve collaboration with those communities to understand current lived experiences, and engaging them to shape variations of edits collected from the same library of footage, designed to then investigate and attend to audiences’ specific needs. We hope that by exploring composition and editing, and giving direct agency to those individuals to impact the research, that we will be able to better serve marginalised groups more authentically and effectively.
