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. Visit the express section for details on individual projects or the include section for details on training. Through workshops and collaborations, people participating in Accessible Arts' programs have found freedom of expression, joy satisfaction and wonder at the possibilities of dance, movement, music and sound. 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 dance 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 and performances by CoMotion dance group 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. From initial workshops some groups have developed into ongoing bands which now write, create and perform their own music, and have recorded CDs and produced rock musicals.
