  • Billy Read Chris Fonseca Longwill School

    Billy Read Chris Fonseca Longwill School

    In January,  young people from  Longwill primary School Birmingham participated in a dance residency by Billy Read and Chris Fonseca. The week kicked off with a performance by Chris Fonseca,  Billy Read and Nau Masuda on Taiko Drums.  Together they told the “Sign Criminal” story. Together they encourage the children to respond to ideas in Sign Criminal and use dance and theatre to tell their own story.  The new work  was presented at Birmingham Hippodrome as part of a unique project celebrating Deaf stories in Birmingham & launching Theatre Ad Infinitum “The Extraordinary Wall of Silence”.

    The activity in the school is part of the development of “We are the Revolution” a trilogy of new dance work including, “Sign Criminal” and “Forbidden identity” funded by Birmingham Dance Hub

    Maral Mamaghanizadeh Visits Museum of Carpets

    Maral Mamaghani kick started her DYCP award from Arts Council England with a visit to Kidderminster’s Museum of Carpets just before lockdown. Maral met volunteers and they shared experiences of using a loom, Maral’s family owned a loom in Iran. and Maral wove fabric and then made a jacket from the woven fabric. Maral was also shown how to card and spin wool, which could be a process she adapts to spin human hair into thread. Maral will return to the museum to explore weaving complex and difficult materials into fabric.

    Deaf Men Dancing Ten at Greenwich Performs

    Ten

    Deaf Men Dancing’s artistic director/choreographer Mark Smith in collaboration with designer Ryan Dawson Laight, & composer Sean Chandler is proud to present ‘Ten’, inspired by double acts.

    Two deaf men arrive with a table and stand on it. They set up their Soapboxes and deliver to the audience their ‘Ten Commandments for Deaf Awareness’ in BSL, mime, physical theatre and dance.

    Deaf Men Dancing is an all male deaf dance company with a fusion of differing styles of dance with British Sign Language incorporated into choreography creating a unique, interesting and original aesthetic.

  • Stephen Collins, this is very fresh and very different. It’s about Deaf experiences, and sharing our experiences in the rehearsal room.

    Stephen Collins, this is very fresh and very different. It’s about Deaf experiences, and sharing our experiences in the rehearsal room.

    Rinkoo explored isolation in the Deaf community and brought this an R&D using his concept for Bubble and Butch as a starting point.

    Stephen Collins who is a highly successful Deaf actor, describes the week in a rehearsal studio in Derby with Rinkoo Barpaga. Studio provided with in kind support from Artist development for Derby Theatre “In good company”

    DYCP allowed Rinkoo Barpaga to make a Deaf led space where Deaf actors could test out Urban Sign Language in the Rehearsal Studio. Stephen Collins who is a highly successful Deaf actor, says “We have three Deaf actors, a Deaf Director and an Interpreter who knows about the Deaf community. It’s never really the Deaf voice that leads the story, so this very fresh and very different. It’s about Deaf experiences, and sharing our experiences in the rehearsal room. Saying my back ground is very different from your background, but we all have the same values.  We are talking about communication and it’s about the Deaf Voice. The Deaf voice is very very different to the hearing voice.  I have been talking about this with Rinkoo about how we can show the Deaf voice and Deaf experience on stage. I think mainstream are desperate for a Deaf voice, but I think we haven’t perhaps achieved that so much yet. I think this project “Bubble and Butch” finally is the Deaf voice. Rinkoo’s a visual director who wants to talk about Deaf isolation and Mental health, that are prevalent, but also taboo in the Deaf Community. It’s a Deaf voice and strong Deaf Led project. This week has been a really interesting research and development. Sometimes I get really frustrated with projects. I just want the Deaf voice. And I just want it to be about the deaf process. And this week has been exactly that.
