ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
Inspired by the life of astronomer Annie Jump-Cannon, Stephen and Sarah are making a new kind of opera that is exploring how sound can be translated or interpreted for Deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences, as well as how sound can be manipulated to speak to a hearing audience about the experience of deafness.
By developing current access methods, exploring new possibilities and working with a fresh approach to live music in a collaborative environment, we will transform what the opera experience can be, for deaf and hearing audiences.
The piece integrates BSL, Captioning, techniques linked to vibration and visual interpretation of sound, live audio manipulation and inclusive staging. We are testing these techniques today and your feedback is vital to the development of the piece.
