Where Our Stories Meet: A public presentation series – NZSL interpreted.
Alternative Ways to Share Stories.
Public presentations delivered by multi-award winning disabled playwright Kaite O’Reilly (Wales, UK) and Deaf and hearing theatre company Equal Voices Arts (Aotearoa) will explore alternative ways to share stories.
- Kaite O’Reilly will explore:
Disability Arts | Equality | Social Justice | Creative access
(NZSL Interpreted)
- Rāhera Turner and Laura Haughey from Equal Voices Arts will explore working as a Deaf and hearing team working across 2 languages and 2 cultures:
Deaf | Hearing | Two Languages | Two cultures | Equality | Collaboration
These presentations are for all within the arts industry who are interested in accessibility, collaboration, and alternative ways of working and telling stories.
Following each presentation there will be an opportunity for disabled, Deaf, Hard of Hearing and neurodiverse communities to come together for a closed hui to discuss the arts sector.
