Integrating art forms to include people with disabilities requires changing perceived ideas and expectations. The visual arts provide a diverse field for discovery, and include photography, installations, print making, body casting, painting, sculpture, object design and ceramics. The use of electronic media within the arts is providing artists with new methods for creating and exhibiting artworks. Accessible Arts has developed a new technology initiative called Facing Today which has provided research, development and training for artists interested in digital imaging and web design as well as producing this internet site. Accessible Arts runs a workshop in Contact Improvisation, a form of movement with a coherent physical language for all participants.
Classes look beyond limitations and abilities to creatively explore physicality and body image.
From this, new techniques integrate dace for people with and without disabilities and challenges traditional dance by developing a more inclusive dance culture. Events such as Into the Light at the Museum of Contemporty Art, Sydney showcase the talent that has developed from workshops run by Accessible Arts. Many of the workshops in music that Accessible Arts have developed in Sydney and regional NSW have focused on learning, creating and improvising music. Some of these have developed into ongoing groups which now write, create and perform their own music, and have recorded CDs and produced rock musicals. The public face of Accessible Arts has always been its projects.
