The next screening of the Telephone Film will be taking place VIRTUALLY via Abilities Dance Boston on Sunday, September 17th at 2 PM  (Eastern Time)

As a member of the Dark Room Ballet community, we would like to invite you to this VIRTUAL screening hosted by Abilities Dance Boston, which describes the event as follows:

“Telephone” is an activist screendance documentary celebrating emotionally rich, poetic audio description for dance, which allows blind and visually impaired people to be included fully in the joy of artistic expression.

The first of its kind, Telephone was created specifically with a visually impaired audience in mind, while facilitating an immersive sensory experience for audience members of all sight levels. Featuring diverse disabled and non-disabled artists from across the globe, the film demystifies and legitimizes audio description, not just as an access tool, but as a beautiful, rich art form in its own right. 

Join us virtually over Zoom with Abilities Dance Boston to experience the forty-five minute film, followed by a talkback with the co-directors, choreographer/filmmaker Heather Shaw and Dark Room Ballet Founder Krishna Washburn. 

More information about Telephone at: www.telephonefilm.com.

The film includes audio description, American Sign Language, and open captions. 

General Admission Tickets ($25) and Free Tickets are available via Abilities Dance Boston:

The next screening of the Telephone Film  will be taking place online at the EstroGenius Festival on Sunday, April 23rd at 7 PM (Eastern Time)

As a member of the wider Dark Room Ballet community, we would like to invite you to this virtual screening (completely online) hosted by the EstroGenius Festival 2023, which describes the event as follows:

Telephone Film, co-directed by choreographer/filmmaker Heather Shaw and Dark Room Ballet Founder Krishna Washburn, is a disability arts film project that promotes radical arts inclusivity by bringing awareness to audio description for dance, an art form that allows blind and visually impaired people to be fully included in the joy of artistic expression. Telephone advocates for a new paradigm of anti-ableist artistic expression by showcasing audio description as an art form in its own right, while also providing an immersive sensory experience of dance for audience members of all sight levels. The screendance documentary is the first of its kind, featuring diverse disabled and non-disabled artists who have come together to prove that: dance is visceral, not merely visual. Join us to experience the forty-five minute film, followed by a talkback with the co-directors. The conversation will center around accessible art, creative choreographic/filmmaking methodologies, and the future of anti-ableism in the arts.

This event will include Audio Description and American Sign Language.
