Passing

EASY READ VERSION

The film “Passing”

shows how people adapt to new situations.

We are all different.

We change our roles in different situations.

We adapt to other people.

We do this just like actors in a theatre.

The film shows how a person

with visual impairment sees the world.

Magic tricks are also added.

Now we can see the small details

that we usually do not notice.

ABOUT ARTIST

Jo Bannon is an artist working in performance, choreography and film. Her practice is concerned with how our specific bodies, identities and sensory perceptions impact how we experience the world around us, and how this sensory experience can or cannot be conveyed. Informed by crip politics and disability advocacy her work attempts to unpick the ways we look, hear and sense our immediate environment in order to rethink or make unfamiliar these intrinsic human behaviours. Bannon’s work is led by form and so manifests in various mediums including intimate encounters designed for single or small audiences, staged performance, dance, film and installation.

Jo has presented work in the UK, Europe, South America, USA, China, South Korea and Australia. She also works as a dramaturg, educator and writer and is part of artist collective Interval.
