Doncaster Minister is set to be turned into an audio-visual experience for Deaf people for six days in November.
The centre piece of this year’s DN Festival will be an audio-visual piece called ‘Tetonic’, bespoke to Doncaster Minster that uses 3-D light mapping and projection techniques.
Tetonic, using the light projections will be a totally immersive experience covering the ceiling and walls of the iconic Minister building. Created by NOVAK, working with artist Ed Carter, and commissioned by Right Up Our Street, the piece aims to encourage Yorkshire’s Deaf community to experience and get more involved in the arts.
NOVAK are a creative studio producing innovative and ambitious art and design projects, specialising in motion design and immersive experiences, encompassing projection mapping, art and museum installations, stage visuals for music artists and video accompaniments for theatre and dance performances.
Sally Lockey, project director at Right Up Our Street said: “We are so excited to be bringing this bespoke event to Doncaster.
“We’ve worked closely with Doncaster Deaf Trust and Communication Specialist College Doncaster to develop an event that their Deaf students, staff and their families will all be able to enjoy.”
“Normally people think about accessibility for Deaf people after events have been developed.”
This event has been developed with Deaf people at the forefront of our minds. It will be accessible and enjoyable for all audiences, hearing or Deaf.
“Using 3D mapping and projection techniques visitors to the Minster will be immersed in this light led experience covering the ceiling and walls of the iconic building,” added Sally.
