"Giving Our Regards to Broadway"
Co-Taught by Keith Wann and Crom Saunders
Signing for musical theatre and signing musical material requires a different style and presentation than signing for the classroom or conversationally. This workshop is for those who would like to interpret songs, musical theatre, and concerts. Attendees will learn models for interpreting songs, musical theatre, and concerts. Participants will learn techniques and ways to hone skills which will allow them be more expressive, to represent musical material more accurately. These techniques also help interpreters in other work environments in terms of clarity, role assignment, and reducing lag time.
"But I Don't Even Know it in English!
By Crom Saunders
How do you interpret a surgical procedure if you're not an intern? How do you interpret English literature if you weren't an English major? How do you interpret computer lingo if you can't even set the microwave clock? This workshop will help participants develop general tools for dealing with specialized vocabulary, and to broaden the use of their already developed skills to turn jargon into understandable and sign-able concepts.
"Cultural Misunderstandings Between Latinos and Non Latinos"
By Angela Roth
Every deaf community is influenced by the majority culture and language. Understanding of those influences on the members of ethnically Hispanic deaf individuals we encounter in our work can aid in improved communication strategies for all involved. This workshop and professional discussion will address general Hispanic values, relationship dynamics, and strategies applicable to agencies, educators, interpreters, and any situation where interaction with Hispanics may occur.
"Narrative Development of Personal Storytelling in ASL"
By Peter Cook
The purpose of this workshop is to explore the role of Narrator and Character in storytelling. The participants will have the chance to exercise role shifting between Narrator and Character. Features such as Body shifting, Eye gazing, Physical features, Positions, and Power shifting will be discussed. The participants will create stories through their personal experiences and will be given assignment during the course of the workshop.
