Practice.
Consulting
If you are an artist, organizer, or gatekeeper, odds are you have a lot on your plate. Our consulting practice helps intervene in everyday oppression by modeling access in real time, discussing obstacles to action, and devising ways forward. Meeting duration, frequency, and topics are negotiable. $400 per hour, sliding scale available.
Workshop Design and Facilitation
We design and facilitate workshops that help model access within the most basic decisions made in the workshop’s design. An example is our recent Disabled Leadership and Power workshop offered through Disability Art and Culture Project. Workshops typically run between $4,000-$6,000 depending on intended outcomes.
Interactive Artworks
We create interactive transmedia art works that continue our practice of modelling access. Our recent 360-video powered live performance The Swoop featured open audio description in the video, and included realtime negotiation with audience members. Price variable.
