In addition to developing an access-based mode of research-creation, my aim with Möbius Dreams has also been to begin exploring how current immersive and site-specific structures of participation might be made as inclusive as possible. I want to offer this brief statement to clearly outline the access supports that are currently available for this project, as well as to acknowledge that there are still features that remain inaccessible, or less accessible to certain communities and individuals. I am continuously learning, and am striving to further improve accessibility for this project as it continues to develop.
That being said, if you do have any specific additional accessibility requests, please reach out to me (Jayna Mees) at mobiusdreams2021@gmail.com to enquire about possible arrangements.
For this iteration of Möbius Dreams, the following access supports are available:

Participation and Prompts
There are several different options for participating in this performance:
- Participants have the option to engage with an audio-only, and/ or an audio-visual version of the performance.
- The performance may be completed at any time, and anywhere except for Queen Street West.
- Throughout the performance, the tour guide offers participants several prompts to engage with as they journey through different stories. These prompts are first and foremost suggestions and can be engaged with and interpreted in a variety of different ways. Participants can be as physical as they choose in their participation, and are welcome to skip prompts that they are not comfortable doing.
- In addition to physical prompts, there are also prompts that specifically engage participants through their sense of smell, touch, seeing, and hearing.
