Manga Exhibit at the British Museum

Hello Everyone,

On Saturday 8th of June I went to my first audio described tour, of the Cti Manga exhibition at the British Museum, by Vocal Eyes describer Lonny Evans and the exhibit curator Nicole. Vocal Eyes is a charity that ensures blind and partially sighted people can use audio description to experience and enjoy the theatre, museums and architecture the same way as everyone else. I've written an introductory review about my experience for people who are unfamiliar with manga, which you can find on the Vocal Eyes website. This post is a follow up review with more information for people who are fans of anime and manga. I’ve also included some pictures I took of some of the pieces you’ll see if you do decide to go to the exhibit yourself.

Illuminate Freedom: A Place for Health, Fitness and Fun

Hello,

This blog post is about my experience at a free taster dance class for visually impaired people. Illuminate Freedom is an organisation that provides a variety of gentle movement, health, fitness and dance programmes for visually impaired people. The activities increase body awareness, confidence, balance and participate in accessible classes. They use audio description and careful pacing to make the tasks creative, lively and most importantly easy to follow.
