Access Workshop Series
Teaching Offer by the Crip | Choreo | Care - Team for HZT, UdK and HfS Ernst Busch
The Access Workshop Series is specifically aimed at staff members of the HZT, the UdK, and the HfS Ernst Busch, as well as interested students. The goal is to raise greater awareness of the needs of students and staff members with disabilities, chronic illnesses, or hearing impairments, and to integrate these needs into university teaching practices in a sustainable manner. The series comprises five thematic workshops that address accessibility in various areas of university arts education. Each workshop consists of a presentation by a guest expert followed by a moderated discussion with the participants, accompanied by two experts with disabilities. The focus is on both knowledge transfer and the joint development of creative approaches for situations where individual accessibility needs intersect with established workflows and no standardized solutions exist (yet). In addition to moderation by Leo Naomi Baur and Roisin Keßler, members of the team from the Einstein Profile Professorship “Choreography, Dance, and Disability Arts” will be present and available for collegial exchange.
