In Being Heard Hearing, there is comfort in having our diverse ways of hearing acknowledged. There is a form of rebellion against the role of object, as disability asserts itself as a subject and dances, free and spontaneous, before the other. This work places difference at the forefront, while the performer immerses themselves in the very essence of the hearing-impaired dancer.

Being Heard Hearing escapes the margins forced upon it by normalization by pursuing the ways in which difference and all of its appealing abnormalities can offer an intentionality to interpretation that is fully conscious of the disability of being hard of hearing. An individual that is other than one seen to fit in; one that is distinctly other. A different use of the senses inspiring a different use of the body. The human vessel is an alterable and altering machine that is responsible for many ways that we can be different in the world, one of which is the way we can be heard hearing.
