DanceABLE?is an all-ages, access-centered dance event happening Saturday April 13th at the Museum?of?Flight, where the core audience is Deaf or Hard?of?Hearing.?
Expanding c89.5's?Dance 4 All?inclusivity initiative in partnership with Seattle Children?s Childhood Communication Center, The Museum?of?Flight, 4Culture, Pacific Science Center and?Not Impossible Labs, 150 passholders from the?D/HH?community?will get?free access?to experience dance music like never before, with wearable technology that?s programmed live to translate beats, instruments and voices onto the skin through haptic vibration. Augmenting the Museum's already super-cool?annual Yuri's Day party, c89.5 will be on site broadcasting live and hosting sets from 2 DJ's, including c89.5 program alum and wheelchair user D-Double-J, and headlining hitmaker?Anabel Englund?who will really bring the heat. A team of ASL interpreters will play a vital role in the event, including the co-emcee?and hosts?of?various stations throughout the event to ensure accessibility and education for all attendees.?
I'm open to any ideas that can make this event as impactful?as possible - so let me know what you think and feel free to call my cell anytime!
