Dead dreams don’t have to become zombies

I was invited to donate into a theatre project, and I LOVE theatre – when I was younger I thought I would get into it and took all the drama classes in school, until high school when most of my dreams were dashed and I had to face reality. The best I can do these days is donating money into the arts and giving away free consulting time.

The Godot Cycle

This theatrical play will be time-consuming, exhausting and nothing but a sheer battle, just like my life. The Godot Cycle will be happening along with the Toronto Fringe Festival and there will be two marathons of the play. The first will be for a total of 30 hours and the second 54 hours. The two main characters are to act for the full time and not take any breaks, this is a gruelling grind. The other 3 characters will be played by various actors. Concepts of performance art will be incorporated. – Asif Zamir

The Audio Description

Chicago, Illinois
Theater

An Audio Describer is a great form of making theatre more accessible to visually impaired/blind persons. This is a tour that will last for a year and bring the Audio Describer to theatres. The goal is to have a secluded area set up with the necessary tools to describe the descriptive parts of the theatre, that are only seen and not heard, such as costumes and settings. This helps someone with limited sight capabilities to see the whole picture in their minds eye.
