| Recommended Ages: 13+ Persephone Bound is an epic story of survival that follows a young woman’s journey through three vivid realms: The Underworld — a college party that holds the painful memory of her experience of sexual assault; The Court - a bureaucratic hell-sphere; and The River (Styx) — an internal space where, queen-like, she builds a well-spring of courage and strength. Persephone Bound, a contemporary adaptation of the Greek Myth of Persephone, is a play that uses stunning poetry, percussion and aerial circus work to explore the need for education around consent.

Sept 27th, 2019 3:30pm-5pm Rialto Hall FREE ADMISSION https://www.facebook.com/events/374939093406378/ This panel will take place in LSQ and French with live interpretation into French and LSQ How can we make music shows, and music in general accessible for deaf, deafened, and those who are hard-of-hearing? Slowly but surely, the hearing world is finally opening its stages to deaf audiences. Social media has been a driving force for interpreters, providing them a platform to interpret songs into Sign Languages for deaf people. This has allowed music to be enjoyed by wider audiences, and expanding the ways artists experience music and musicality. But before that, a discussion on deaf music should occur.  Matthew Maxey Born with a severe hearing loss, he founded DEAFinitely Dope in 2014 in order to provide support to those marginalized and ignored by mainstream America. His movement at-tracted institutions like, ESPN The Undefeated, GQ, Chance The Rapper, and the MTV Video Music Awards.
