See the world with hand and heart. Feel the dance by breathing and touching. Keep the distance by holding and embracing. Interactive dance performance for diverse sighted children
“World without Eyes” invites audience to become active participants and together with two dancers explore dance movement and the world through movement.

Being visually perceived art form, dance in this project is presented through touching and sensing movement vibrations instead of hearing instructions or descriptions. We propose concept that dance as non-verbal communication and expression form should be perceived and expressed by non-verbal communication means – movement. This concept works as most often visual
impairment of children in early age comes with other developmental disorders which detain children from understanding verbal language.
