Describing the Blow by Blow – Finding the Narrative in Fight Sequences
Hosted by Amy Amantea
VocalEye Describer, Eileen Barrett, shares techniques on how to uncover and describe the “through line narrative” of a choreographed fight scene — going beyond blow-by-blow reporting to tell a compelling story. Using tools from dramaturgy, movement analysis, and emotional arc mapping, this session builds skills around translating physical tension, momentum shifts, character intention, and stakes into vivid, meaningful description.
Whether you’re describing stage combat, or stylized physical conflict, this session offers practical techniques to ensure Blind and Low Vision audience members experience not just what’s happening, but why it matters.
