Wouldn’t it be great if everyone could go to the same performance together and not have to be separated into hearing and deaf people? This question motivated performer Eyk Kauly to develop workshops in Visual Sign. Visual Sign is a special art form based on mime that both hearing and deaf people can understand. A language understood through the eyes. Participants will be invited to express their own stories by relying on body language that they already use unconsciously in their daily communication - visual signs - which are then transformed into artistic expressions. The workshop will also include an introduction to the history of the Deaf community, their cultural identity and modes of expression.
Facilitator: Eyk Kauly, artist, performer, Germany
