About audio description

All takes place in the auditorium. Usually, the members of the group sit together in the seats at the front (but it’s fine to sit elsewhere too). Obviously friends and acquaintances are welcome to sit with them. The seats at the front are mainly recommended to make it easier for those with some vision left.
The visual description interpreter sometimes sits in the middle of the group: in this case a sound barricade is formed to not disturb the other audience. Sometimes, instead, the visual description interpreter sits far from the group (in a technology base for example). The location is always chosen in order to not disturb other audience or ensemble.

During the movie / show time the visual interpreter tells briefly about what is happening. He/ she provides key words to tell what happens: about peoples’ gestures and facial expressions and movements between different environments. He/ she simply fills in the unspoken: for example, if a man is crying quietly, sneaking, or have a particular facial expression.
The visual interpreter uses the time that the artists need to go from the greenroom to the stage to repeat clothing and props, in order to avoid talking during the music and dialogues. But sometimes it must be done: if two actors, for instances, are standing and talking on the stage and a third one is approaching slowly (he / she might have a knife in his hand?) the visual interpreter must choose to disrupt the dialogue a few seconds and tell his/her audience about the third element.
After the show, the visual interpreter collects the equipment and check what the group thinks.
