Accessibility Innovator at Rationale Method
Nathan specialises in accessibility innovation and strives to make work that heightens accessibility for both disabled and non disabled artists and audiences. He was the Artistic Director of the 2017 Special Olympics Opening Ceremony and brought together artists who had physical and intellectual disabilities with non disabled artists to put on an event that challenged the general public's expectations of what people with physical and intellectual disabilities can achieve. His passion for innovating cutting edge technologies and accessibility within dance, theatre, music production and art has lead him to develop The Rationale Method of Audio Description which utilises the skills of beatboxers and poets to provide a richer soundscape for people with visual impairment. This not only enhances accessibility for both sighted and visually impaired audiences it also transforms the aesthetic and form of artistic productions. This unique method of audio description has enhanced accessibility for contemporary dance, opera and theatrical productions.
In 2019 Nathan became a TEDx speaker and appeared on BBC television to spread knowledge of his unique Rationale Method. He continues to implement his work both nationally and internationally to bridge the gap between disabled and non-disabled artists and audiences the world over.
