Deafinitely Theatre
is a new, radical and visual presence
in theatre. Its vision is to become
a leading independent company promoting
innovative work by new writers and Deaf groups, in a
language that can be understood by
all.
By building partnerships
with professionals and artistic companies,
Deafinitely Theatre presents
plays which have been creatively led
by Deaf artists and actors using the
universal language of theatre. The
guiding values are to express dialogue
and story-telling through sign and
speech.
By using community
education projects, Deafinitely Theatre
encourages more Deaf children,
young people and adults to enjoy theatre
and draw on their own experiences
of life. Through theatre, the challenge
is to give people across different
cultures a voice and to break down
common perceptions about the homogeneity
of Deaf people living in society. |
