Earcatch vs CocoonDance MoveApp

Visually impaired and wishing to enjoy film, television or theatre? Don't miss a single detail thanks to the audio description in Earcatch. Through your headphones a voice describes what is happening visually. You can use Earcatch in the cinema, in the theatre or at home on the couch. Select the film, episode or show you want to watch and download the corresponding audio description. Put on your headphones and hit ‘play’ as soon as it begins. Earcatch ensures that the audio description is perfectly synchronised with what is happening.

This App is an invitation for the user to explore and expand the potential scope of his/her body through new terms and explanations. The creative process of how these individual bodies interpret the linguistic descriptions for themselves is deliberately kept open. First and foremost, new terms and their influence on movement and body sensation should flow into the app. It is expressly desired that this app grows beyond the movement knowledge and vocabulary of CocoonDance and that other performers, dancers and choreographers leave their mark on the app. In the long run, the goal is to develop a tool that will serve a large number of “movement practitioners” to create, explore and facilitate an open exchange about movements and body images with others, without presumption of general validity.
