DDW IDEA Council: Sign Language & the Arts
Join us for a discussion on the role of the Director of Artistic Sign Language (DASL) in theater. Kailyn Aaron-Lozano and the Dramatic Writing IDEA Council invite you to discover how the DASL translates scripts using ASL, collaborates with sign language interpreters, and works with actors both onstage and backstage. We'll also examine the unique challenges of translating plays versus musicals. Don't miss this chance to gain valuable insights into this vital aspect of live performance!
