VocalEye is the first dedicated live description service for blind and partially sighted people in Canada. Since its inception, VocalEye has described over 300 live events including theatre performances, dance, opera, parades, fireworks and public art tours for people who are blind and partially sighted.
VocalEye's Almost Live Zoom events will introduce you to a variety of audio plays, virtual art tours, festival highlights, music, dance, documentary film, storytelling and more with host Amy Amantea and special guest artists. Almost Live Zoom events are designed to be accessible for people who are blind and partially sighted, but everyone is welcome to attend. Whether you have sight loss, blindness, or are simply curious, this unique experience will open your eyes to a new way of 'seeing' the world. Every week is a new adventure!
