A new approach to captioning

Fight Face is remarkable for its innovative design, which includes a new form of captioning that allows deaf and hard of hearing people to follow both the dialogue and sound effects. Every aural reference onstage has a visual representation in the AV design. The system has been created through a collaboration with AV designer Douglas O'Connell, animator Steve May and stagetext teacher Alex Romeo. Together with Gemma Fairlie they created captions that were an integral part of the design and atmosphere of the show.
