When presenting a performance, planning and executing patron accessibility practices such as ASL interpretation, captioning, audio description, and relaxed performances requires collaboration between artists and presenters. When entering a presenting relationship, how do artists and presenters evaluate where one another stands on their access and inclusion journey? How can artists and presenters push each other’s growing edge to ultimately make the field more equitable and inclusive? And who is responsible for the labor and financial investment required to accomplish means of access for audiences?
