With support from the California Arts Council, DDSO-The Short Center Repertory will create a new Travelling Clown Theater performance accessible to all, and 21 free workshops exploring clown technique specifically addressed to the Deaf/Hard of Hearing and Blind/Low Vision communities and to adults with developmental disabilities in community-based programs, designed by actors who are deaf, or blind, or live with developmental disabilities.
DDSO runs four multidisciplinary art centers serving Sacramento and San Joaquin Counties, and one life skills program for adults with severe and profound disabilities. Outreach programs include a touring theatre company (The Short Center Repertory), a public art mural project, and an online archive of artists with developmental disabilities.
