2. IDC: Workshop on Accessibility
Patterns
This 5-day workshop on accessibility patterns
will be organised in the workshop week (Feb 8-12) in IDC.
The workshop hopes to create patterns of
improving accessibility for three areas in interaction design: text input in
Indian languages, usable security, and form filling interfaces. During the
workshop, we will discuss about the possible problems faced by people with
various disabilities, review current approaches to solving these problems,
brainstorm ideas for more solutions, and finally document the outcomes in the
form of patterns.
Workshop schedule:
●
Monday, February 8: Introduction to accessibility (Charudatta
Jadhav)
An introduction to accessibility, immersive experiences of text input, security, interaction mechanisms, case studies in accessibility

3. IDC: Workshop on Kathak by Shama
Bhate: (Three days)
In an art medium like dance, the designs are
many folds, and at different levels, and spheres …There are rhythmic designs,
along with sound designs, there are stylized individual body lines, and there
are spatial lines, which occur due to the movements of the dancers. All these
are already well defined, well thought and spelt out by traditional and
classical values. The main point is they
do not make a person’s thought process or vision circumscribed as it is
normally perceived. There comes the element of design , because one needs to
correlate, coordinate all these aspects into one whole , while creating a
piece. In addition to that, in a performing art scenario . one is expected to
make changes to the available space and the sensibilities of the audiences one
faces/
In today’s scenario, the dancers are
presenting their dance vision across, in a choreographic manner... They need to
design the dancers’ vibrating movements in the space, the pulsating distances
between two or three dancers and also in the space available to them. They need
to consider the space available, but sometimes need to design that too. They
need to think and choose the fabric the colors and the styles of the costumes
to suit the theme and the spatial design. They need to consider the light
design and sound design to get a comprehensive impact .
· Lectures with demonstrations while
keeping these aspects in mind .
· Involve the participants in
forming designs, both, sound and space.
· Work with a group of dancers
· Video presentations
