Louise Fryer

Louise Fryer is a researcher with a background in psychology and media accessibility. She is also one of the UK's most experienced audio describers. She is associated with organisations such as VocalEyes and Extant, a professional theatre group of visually impaired people. In 2022, working with Amelia Cavallo-Lander, she interviewed 20 theatremakers from around the UK, with experience of integrating access. Louise combined their experience with her own knowledge as a researcher, describer, consultant and teacher to write the book "Integrated Access in Live Performance" on integrated accessibility in the performing arts. In this presentation Louise will provide inspiring examples of alternative forms of accessibility and audio description.
