Enhancing the Entertainment Experience of Blind and Low-Vision Theatregoers through Touch Tours
Udo, J. P.; Fels, D. I.
Disability & Society, v25 n2 p231-240 Mar 2010
In this paper we demonstrate how universal design theory and the research available on museum-based touch tours can be used to develop a touch tour for blind and low-vision theatregoers. We discuss these theoretical and practical approaches with reference to data collected and experience gained from the creation and execution of a touch tour for Hart House Theatre's production of "Hamlet" at the University of Toronto. Finally, we offer up the possibility of using universal design theory to create a touch tour that would be attractive to all theatregoers.
