Free Imagination: Creative Theatre for Visually Impaired Children

This creative theatre project for visually impaired children produces two types of works: a live performance in the form of an immersive theatre piece, emphasizing shared experiences, and an audio play approximately 20 minutes long. A video guide with audio narration is also produced and disseminated online via YouTube and Facebook. This allows teachers, caregivers, parents, and anyone interested in creative media for the visually impaired and special needs children to use these materials as teaching aids and to sustainably develop the mobility of visually impaired children nationwide.
