We are excited to present an online queer audio description workshop with Quiplash – up to ten free places are available for artists and creative practitioners working with moving image based in Scotland, apply by Monday 16 May.
Quiplash was established to take space for queer crips (quips), further queer crip performance and encourage queer accessibility.
Audio description provides access for blind and visually impaired audiences. This workshop for LUX Scotland is aimed at providing an understanding of queer audio description for performance and artists’ moving image. The workshop will be useful for artists and creative practitioners who would like to learn more about audio description and how they might apply it to their work and practice.
Workshop Schedule & Contents
The workshop will be split into two sessions, led by Amelia Lander-Cavallo with support from Al Lander-Cavallo, and members of the LUX Scotland team will also be in attendance.
Session 1: Monday 30 May, 1:30 – 5pm
The first session will cover disability awareness, providing a grounding from which to approach creative and queer audio description.
Session 2: Tuesday 31 May, 1:30 – 5pm
The second session will cover audio description for performance and artists’ moving image, providing an overview of Quiplash’s approach to audio description and its application.
We recommend that participants attend both sessions, if possible, to gain the most from the training with Quiplash.
