Infrequently Asked Questions #2: D/deaf, disabled, and neurodivergent artists
We would like to invite anyone who is considering applying for New Voices to hear directly from the Sound and Music team about the application process and to ask questions.
This session is specifically aimed at D/deaf, disabled and neurodivergent composers. We look forward to presenting and discussing how we are hoping to make the application process and participation in our programmes as accessible as possible, and would like to hear from you how we can best support prospective applicants.
This will be a relaxed session, you are welcome to keep video turned off and come and leave whenever. There will be live captions provided in the meeting and via an external website accessible via a browser. A team member will act as a dedicated access support worker during the event for any access needs that arise during the event or if you need to speak to someone, and a follow-up email will be sent with a transcript of the event for reference.
We can provide a BSL interpreter upon request.
If you have any access needs not covered here, please get in touch with fiona.allison@soundandmusic.org and let us know.
