Testimonials from DoppelTone Workshop Participants
“Dance is a way to tell stories and convey emotions, and this is something as a blind person I’m still exploring because as someone who’s never seen dance those ideas are really abstract to me and I feel like this app is a tool that’s inviting me to experiment with those ideas.”
“My passion for dance is ballet and jazz and I spent many years doing those things. I feel as a visually impaired person that there is so much of dance I miss because of not having the visual aspect of the art, so I let my imagination sometimes do some of the visual aspects for me, and I feel left out or lost. But I do concentrate on what I hear, so the auditory, and I find that’s amazing, and when you have description it gives you more of a bigger understanding or focus of what the dance is, but I find the description still does not let you, as a visually impaired person, totally experience the dance that you’re watching. So, you’re excited to be there, but there’s an aspect of the dance that you’re not getting.”
