October 3 + November 9 • 1-4pm ET / 10am-1pm PT
These access in the arts workshops are three hour participatory, online workshops rooted in Kinetic Light’s Access ALLways methodology and designed for arts organizations, producers, and event organizers.
The ALLways method, grounded in KL’s holistic research and practice and led by Laurel Lawson, uses fundamental principles of equity and hospitality to help you learn how to create equitable access for your performances, events, audiences, and organization.
The October 3 session, ALLways: Producing Accessible Online Events, is for arts workers with new to intermediate experience levels with disability or accessibility. Online programming and engagement has long been a critical location for disabled gathering and creation; now, online programming is here to stay for arts organizations who want to offer vibrant and accessible programming and fulfill their highest potential to reach their audience. Come learn how to deepen your online practices to sustain and create meaningful connections.
The November 9 session, ALLways: Centering Disability in Strategy, Systems & Structures, is best suited for arts professionals with new to intermediate experience with disability or accessibility. While institutional interest in supporting disabled artists and access work has boomed – this well-intentioned support will be ineffective at supporting equity, justice, and field-wide change if we don’t examine the underlying assumptions and structures. Join us to learn how centering artistry and access can permeate and ripple through organizational structures and cultures.
CART/ASL and verbal description included for each session.
