ASL x Opera Project
This project aims to fulfill four primary goals: 1. To make traditional opera accessible to D/deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences. 2. To conceive new, experimental ASL performance works, incorporating the visual, musical, and theatrical aspects of opera. 3. To nourish a reciprocal cultural relationship between D/deaf, hard-of-hearing and hearing communities. 4. To explore the ways in which ASL can enhance and transform established classical forms for both D/deaf, hard-of-hearing and hearing audiences. |
