The Audio Description Learning Network (ADLN)
Audio Description is the verbal depiction of visual images and action used by audiences who are Blind/Low Vision/Visually Impaired to more fully experience cultural events. HelloArts is currently managing the ADLN - part of an existing coalition of Philadelphia area theaters dedicated to improving accessibility services across the sector. Our goal is to expand the use of effective, representative Audio Description in theaters by training new Audio Describers, cultivating audiences, and making our findings more broadly available.

Hello Arts programming carefully designed with members in mind and facilitated by professional artists will incorporate creative practices that meet the expressed needs of our elders. We foster active listening, performance and collaboration skills while having fun and building community. |
Without community, there is no liberation...but community must not mean a shedding of our differences, nor the pathetic pretense that these differences do not exist.
