I’m glad they talked about Deaf history, I’m in ASL 2 in my high school and my teacher always ensures we understand what determines the way Deaf people operate and how they were oppressed.
At 10:02-06 ish, Michael Arden says "Because you're sort of doing two things at once and it can start to become a little confusing." and Jack Jason (the interpreter) does a sign where he rubs his stomach and has a flat hand on his head. What word/phrase is this a sign for? It's like the whole 'I bet you can't pat your head and rub your stomach at the same time' bit, and I'm wondering if that's actually a sign for doing two things at once. I'm intrigued!
It's not literally a sign, but it is a meaning in american culture that is also valid in ASL. The meaning is the same, but it's not actually a sign, just got the message across.
@Quaker 2019 Translation, even for a professional, takes a lot of work, and often fatigues the translator after long periods of constant... translation. /lh Words are not my forte, apologies.
Don't you think adding sign language to a production that already has what is required of a triple threat in singing, acting, and dancing makes material less accessible to general audiences? I mean to draw attention to a sense that the audience may not be able to follow or match up to what those on the stage do performance wise and find joy in penetrating the world in which the characters and even the performers live in doing so.
Fascinating - really enjoyed these theatre practitioners sharing their craft, especially in the duality of Mannheim & Matlin working synchronously.
Hey
I have a ridiculous crush on Daniel Durant... I can't wait to see him in more productions!
Hey
I am seriously thinking about learning ASL.

@Quaker 2019 I was simply observing the lengthened amount of time Mr. Jason was translating for, especially for many people.

When a work makes a case for itself, you don't have to work so hard to sell it.
😎🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I find this production distressing.
Hey
