Bittersuite

Stefania joined Bittersuite back in 2015 and took part in the following productions:

SENSIBILITY FESTIVAL

Sensibility Festival is a unique arts installation that has been co-curated by 60 participants with complex communication needs. Together with local artists they have been exploring dynamic ways to develop accessible and multisensory arts practice. The festival challenges conventions of established art making methods and provides experimental art opportunities that nurture and inspire creative practices.

As part of the work that has been created Interpreters (Deafblind and BSL), captioning and audio description are embedded throughout the festival.

Sensibility has been co-produced by mac, Sense Arts and co-directed by Graeae Theatre Company and Steph Singer (BitterSuite/Open Senses Festival).
