Join us for the ADF-Commissioned World Premiere of enVISION: The Next Chapter, an innovative, professional dance-theatre experience like no other!enVISION: The Next Chapter is an immersive interdisciplinary performance that relies not on sight or sound but on the felt sense of sonic experiences and visual perceptions. In a collective creative process, the work has brought together a team of collaborators around two questions: Can we listen to what we see? Can we see what we hear? Conceived explicitly with and for individuals who are low-vision and blind, as well as low-hearing and deaf, the work proposes a new multisensory experience of dance and theater. The work will be presented to a live audience who can choose to experience the show blindfolded or with earbuds, and five audience members will be invited to join the experience onstage. This ADF commission builds on enVISION: Sensory Beyond Sight, which premiered at ADF in 2022.
“This imaginative and immersive performance literally presents the audience with a new sensorial way to experience dance and theater.”
– Kim Jackson, Beltline to Broadway

Image Description:
The image portrays four individuals, with one of them holding a rectangular window with the three others standing on the other side. The setting has a hazy appearance, with a blue-green tint dominating the image. The window is aged and weathered, featuring a dirty and textured surface with visible scratches and stains. The person holding the window is only visible from the back, with their dark hair partially visible. The three other individuals are seen through the window, their expressions and features somewhat distorted due to the dirty surface of the window. The light in the image creates a calm, almost dreamlike atmosphere with a blur throughout the overall scene.
