“Beyond the Visual” Creation Method Workshop

Workshop Offered in the Context of the Presentation of → Fragment: celle qui m’habitait déjà by Audrey-Anne Bouchard / Au-delà du visuel at MAI (Montréal, arts interculturels), October 22 – November 8, 2025

“Beyond the Visual” Method: Creating and Communicating Dance and Theatre Beyond the Visual

Workshop Date: November 8, 2:00 PM

As part of the creation of their immersive works engaging all of the audience’s senses except sight, the collective Au-delà du visuel has developed a brand-new method to communicate dance and theatre to audiences with visual impairments. What does a set convey when it is not seen but inhabited? How is movement perceived when it is not watched but felt?

Participants (sighted, partially sighted, or blind) will be invited to wear a blindfold and take part in a series of individual and group exercises exploring, among other things, the creation of soundscapes and connection with others through touch. Participants will alternate between receiving and transmitting exercises to better understand the challenges and creative potentials of accessibility in the performing arts.
