Chisato Minamimura explores the concept of ‘visual soundscapes’ from her unique perspective as a deaf performance artist, choreographer and British Sign Language Art Guide.
Developed during a Snape Residency, INPUT:OUTPUT is a performance experiment that looks at ways to make music a more inclusive experience. Chisato’s collaborative, deaf-led approach challenges assumptions about who can create soundscapes and what musical performances may look, sound, or feel like from a deaf perspective.
For this project, Chisato collaborated with Suffolk based sound artist, Loula York.
