Here, Aaron Di Blasi, Publisher for the Access Information News weekly newsletter, welcomes Dark Room Ballet with C. Krishna Washburn and Company as the publication’s newest Sponsor. Founded by C. Krishna Washburn, a professional blind ballet dancer and ballet teacher, Dark Room Ballet is a grant-funded, tuition-free, pre-professional fine arts program for blind and visually impaired adults, taught online at a collegiate level by a faculty of twelve blind and visually impaired teaching artists, with ballet, Simonson jazz, choreography, dancer’s anatomy, vocal training, studio and dramatic arts, and audio description among its courses. Blind and visually impaired students never pay to attend. Washburn describes the program as, in its nascent form, the blind people’s Gallaudet, and Di Blasi explains the comparison, lists the classes readers can register for this season, and describes how Dr. Kirk Adams made the introduction.
