This interactive journey constructs specific scenes where the general public can learn and understand the needs of people with different disabilities through alternative experiences. The journey is divided into three parts. First, participants will “feel” the world using visually-impaired people’s point of view. Then they will try to use legs to listen to music and use hands to speak. Finally, they will complete an assigned task under certain body constraints. Different knowledge of disabilities are infiltrated throughout the journey. At the same time, by putting themselves in disabled people’s shoes, the journey arouses participants’ reflection on the idea of inclusion and as a result learn to respect and appreciate people with different abilities.

Biography

The Nonsensemakers - Hand in Hand Capable Theatre

In 2013, The Nonsensemakers received the grant from the Labour and Welfare Bureau’s Community Investment and Inclusion Fund (CIIF) HKSAR Government. The troupe sets up a subsidiary named “Hand in Hand Capable Theatre” (HIH), a pioneer which aims to foster mutual understanding among people with different abilities (including visual impairment, hearing difficulty, physically handicap, ex-mentally illness and able-bodied people) through theatre arts. The HIH is the first inclusive theatre in Hong Kong that combines different abilities. The troupe believes theatre training and performance can bring both able-bodied and disabled people together, and also promote social inclusion, while enhancing public understanding of different people’s talents. The HIH receives a three-year funding from Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust starting from 2016 to continue the project.
