Services
The Invisible Practice brings together specialized skills, lived knowledge, and easy-to-book packages for arts organizations, wherever they may be in their journey toward meaningful Deaf inclusion. All of these services are provided by Deaf artists, ensuring a direct flow from Deaf perspective to transformative action.
Building capacity for Deaf-centric creativity in the local community can’t happen without meaningful partnerships. This is one way we’re working to deepen those connections throughout the arts community in amiskwacîwâskahikan.

free
All public-facing promotions will be accompanied by a transparency statement. For example:
"This post is part of The Invisible Practice's paid services to encourage accessible and inclusive artistic creation. TIP was not part of the creative or access process for this event."
“Thanks to our partnership with Invisible Practice, we doubled the attendance of Deaf and ASL-invested Patrons at our most recent show. We appreciate their support and always enjoy collaborating with their team.”
How are our fees determined?
Fees are decided in two ways: our own judgement of the value of the work, or according to CARFAC’s guidelines for professional work. All fees are paid directly to the people doing the work.
For example: You request a promotional post for $25. Connor Yuzwenko-Martin is the person who will do this, so he receives $25.
Alternatively: Connor is too busy during this time, so he delegates it to another person. That person receives $25.

Deaf and sign language performance integration
An in-depth partnership with TIP to create a piece that can be enjoyed by Deaf and hearing audiences alike. This will touch upon all aspects of production, and can extend as far back as collaborating on grant applications.
negotiated price based on project scale.
indigenous Deaf circle
An Indigenous Deaf artist will lead your group in a half-day or day-long circle to smudge, examine intersections between Reconciliation and your creative work, learn some Plains Indian Sign Language, and other topics that you may wish to prioritize. Consider this an opportunity to introduce yourself to a type of discourse rarely held in arts circles.
$1000 /day
event & festival accessibility
An audit and actionable report on your event or festival's capacity and proficiency in welcoming and meaningfully including Deaf patrons, artists, and collaborators.

KEEP IN MIND…
Access costs for providing consultation and workshop services are separate from our fees, which go directly to Deaf artists and professionals. This includes accommodations when a group is not fluent in ASL, such as ASL interpretation.
In most cases, your group will be responsible for access costs unless specifically agreed otherwise.
workshop
Sometimes classroom learning is the best way to start. We offer pre-designed presentations and hands-on activities that can be customized to each group’s unique context and needs.
“Connor took the time to get to know our team and our current knowledge base so that he could customize the workshop to meet our needs. He shared so much wonderful information and gave us a lot to think about, including practical strategies so that we left the room with an action plan. Thank you for working with us and being so open to our many questions!”
SOCIAL MEDIA ACCESSIBILITY
A thorough overview of access considerations on social media platforms, from image alt-text to captioning reels. Hands-on activities will help you reframe how you engage with your audiences, and meet their needs online. This includes a pre-workshop survey to gauge comfort level with various aspects of social media, which will inform our workshop design.
$500/4 hours
As we continue to build capacity for Deaf-centric creativity in the local community, more workshop options will become available.
If there is a workshop topic you would like to engage us on, please reach out! Consider this a partnership opportunity to develop our services while fulfilling your learning goals.
Thank you for supporting the journey of Deaf artists and audiences!
