- Title
Hearing Difference across Theatres: Experimental, Disability, and Deaf Performance.
- Authors
Kochhar-Lindgren, Kanta
- Abstract
This article presents suggestions on new ways of listening in theaters in order to engage traditionally unfamiliar sound cultures without reinforcing existing hearing biases. Deafness should not be treated as the binary opposite of hearing rather, it should be a multisensorial experience that benefits hearing. In order to create a new space for the deaf performer and aesthetic, the visual, spatial, and kinesthetic components of theatre work should be heightened.
