More about this course
  • On this course, you will discover how to approach creating inclusive audio description that encapsulates and promotes equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI).
  • You will assess how audio introduction and audio description play a vital role in the promotion and communication of EDI to the audience, building your cultural awareness and competency in the process.
  • Learn how to describe the role and value of inclusive audio descriptions and introductions to a range of arts stakeholders, including audiences, theatre professionals, and funders.
  • Assessing the part audio description plays in the promotion and communication of EDI, you will examine audio description from both a describer and a performers perspective.
  • You will evaluate insights from multiple individuals (including blind/partially blind audience members, audio describers, and theatre professionals) and reflect on your own understanding of EDI.
  • After conducting the 2019-2020 research project and subsequent report Describing Diversity about diversity in audio description and audio introduction in theatre, educators at Royal Holloway are well placed to guide you in the nuance of this topic.
  • This course brings together the best practices, case studies, and learning resources from this research, allowing you to approach diversity in theatre and beyond with practical tools and enhanced confidence.
