SUMMARY:Theater of the Mind: ASL-Interpreted Performance at The Goodman - Reid Murdoch Building
DESCRIPTION:ASL Performance on Thursday\, July 16 at 7 pm \nCreated by David Byrne & Mala Gaonkar \nDirected by Andrew Scoville \nProduced in Special Arrangement with Arbutus \nIT’S ALL INSIDE YOUR HEAD.\nBUT IS ANY OF IT REAL? \nCo-created by Academy\, Grammy\, and Tony Award-winning artist David Byrne* and writer Mala Gaonkar\, Theater of the Mind is a new theatrical experience you’ll see\, feel\, taste and hear. Inspired by both historical and current neuroscience research\, the show takes you on an immersive journey inside how we see and create our worlds. Peer behind the curtain of the physical realm and marvel at the wonders of your mind. Follow your Guide as they revisit key moments in their life in a surreal\, 15\,000-square-foot installation with a group of just 16 audience members. \nOver 75 minutes\, you’ll move through a series of rooms where you’ll participate in thought-provoking neuroscience experiences. You’ll learn how easily your own senses can deceive you. If perception and memory are both malleable\, then perhaps even your identity is less fixed than you think… You may not be who you think you are. But we’re all in it together. \nLocation: Reid Murdoch Building\, 333 N LaSalle (about a 10-min walk from The Goodman) \nVisit TheateroftheMindChicago.com for general dates\, times\, and tickets \n  \nAccessibility: ASL Interpretation \nWebsite: https://www.goodmantheatre.org/show/theater-of-the-mind/

SUMMARY:A Seat at the Table: Accessibility at Film Festivals Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:Film Festival Alliance invites you to join a new webinar series exploring the experience of disabled patrons at film festivals\, and the real impact that good (and bad) accessibility can have on that experience. \nThis series is free and open to all\, though registration is required. \nStructured around the theme of a dinner party\, each session welcomes guests with diverse perspectives on disability to the table for candid conversation on accessibility in the festival space. \nJoin us on Thursday\, July 23rd at 2PM EST for our first session in the series – Setting the Table: Intro to Disability\, Statistics & the ‘Fear of Mistakes’ \nBefore you can serve the meal\, you have to set the table.\nIn our inaugural session\, we are laying the groundwork for festival accessibility\, exploring what true access looks like\, why it benefits everyone\, and how to build a roadmap that survives seasonal staff turnover.\nWe will openly tackle the “perfection paralysis”—the fear of making mistakes that so often leads to inaction—and show you how to start exactly where you are. \nRegister to Join Us on July 23rd here: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/8Y9yl3zoRieeUhS8zTaeQA#/registration \nCelebrate Disability Pride month with us by joining the live webinar. You will get direct\, real-time access to our expert panel for an interactive Q&A. We invite attendees to submit their access questions ahead of time\, so we can work to address those questions in this series. This is your opportunity to bring your specific festival logistics\, anxieties\, and questions directly to the table. \nWe also invite you to share your access wins! We want to celebrate the creative solutions you have brought to your festival\, and share them with everyone so we can all benefit and learn together. \nYour Hosts:\nMikaela McParlan: Filmmaker\, Accessibility Advocate\, Festival Organizer\, and the Film Festival Alliance Accessibility Advisor.\nMichael McNeely: Media critic\, and legal advocate who brings a vital\, first-person perspective on navigating film spaces as a d/Deaf-blind patron.\nMelissa Simpson: Inclusion specialist\, festival consultant\, and educator dedicated to breaking down physical and digital barriers for disabled audiences. \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Octet: Open Captioned Performance at the Goodman Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Open-Captioned Performance Friday\, July 24 at 7:30pm \nRaven Theatre’s “astonishing” (Chicago Tribune) a cappella musical—hailed as “one of the most engrossing pieces of theater this year” (Chicago Reader)—comes to The Goodman for a limited run. \nIn an anonymous meeting room on the North Side of Chicago\, a group of people —always eight—gather to sing. Best known for the Broadway hit Natasha\, Pierre\, & The Great Comet of 1812\, Dave Malloy’s Octet uses chamber-inspired a cappella music to explore the total impact of life online. Hailed by The New York Times as “the most original and topical musical of the year” for its 2019 Off-Broadway premiere\, this inventive and acutely relevant piece reflects the perils of the digital age. \nUse code OPEN for $44 ($35 ticket plus $9 handling fee) \n  \nAccessibility: Open Captioning \nWebsite: https://www.goodmantheatre.org/show/octet/
