About Telephone
The first of its kind, Telephone is a documentary screendance film bringing awareness to the important art form of audio description (AD) for dance. Audio description allows blind and visually impaired people to be included fully in the joy of artistic expression.
Co-directed by Dark Room Ballet founder Krishna Washburn and choreographer/filmmaker Heather Shaw, Telephone is the first screendance documentary created specifically with a blind and visually impaired audience in mind, while facilitating an immersive sensory experience for audience members of all sight levels.
