Aesthetics of the Im/Mobile

„No Limit? Barrierefreiheit, Inklusion und digitales Theater“

Beitrag zur Tagung der Universität Münster: Strukturwandel des Publikums? Konsequenzen des digitalen Wandels für den Zugang zum Theater.

Im Zentrum der Tagung steht die Auseinandersetzung mit dem Wandel des Theaters in der Gegenwart. Zuschauer*innen und Akteur*innen teilen nicht mehr in allen Fällen denselben physischen Raum; die unmittelbare Ko-Präsenz wird durch digitale Formate verändert. Neue mediale Formen der Rezeption wie Theater-Streamings, hybride Aufführungen, immersive Räume oder interaktive Vorstellungen modifizieren nicht nur das Verhältnis von Bühne und Publikum, sondern werfen auch die Frage auf, wer Theater macht – und für wen Theater gemacht wird.

The research project “Aesthetics of the Im/Mobile” is approaching its final stages. We would therefore be delighted to welcome you to our event:

“Access Riders: A disability community practice.”

We are excited to welcome curator, dramaturg, and access expert Noa Winter as our guest. After the interesting inputs, there will be an opportunity to round off the event together with drinks and snacks.

Access Riders are a tool developed by disabled artists to help communicate their access needs. Meeting these needs often requires significant effort from the disabled person, and Access Riders are designed to reduce that labour by acting as a conversation starter as well as a written guide on how to organise an accessible collaboration.

They allow the disabled person to decide what information to share and what conditions must be in place for safe and equitable collaboration. The other party, in turn, should commit to reading the rider carefully and doing everything possible to meet the listed requirements.

Originally created as a tool for artistic collaboration, Access Riders are now
increasingly used in other professional and educational contexts as well.
In this input, dramaturge and curator Noa Winter will give more insight into the practice of using Access Riders. After their input, they will be in conversation with the Aesthetics of the Im/Mobile research team.

This event will be hosted in English with translation into Swiss German Sign Language. Online participation is possible.
