What’s the world like without sight or sound? Extraordinary.

Featuring deafblind artists Heather Lawson and Michelle Stevens, Imagined Touch is a unique and immersive shared experience – a tactile and visceral step into each other’s worlds, through live art, theatre and sensory performance.

Touch is the main way that deafblind people navigate, communicate and connect with others. Yet, in a society where touch is not encouraged, deafblind people also grapple with universal questions of isolation, access and human connection. In Imagined Touch, altered and restricted light and sound, intensified touch and tactile communication reshape and transform the audience world. Experiencing the artists’ stories and performance in a profoundly different sensory environment, participants literally meet Lawson and Stevens through an imagined touch of the senses – and leave with a new awareness of the other and themselves.
