THE ART OF SIGN MIME STORYTELLING
With Howie Seago
June 21-22, 2007
Thursday and Friday, 8:45 am – 5:00 pm
Sign Mime in ASL is a highly visual, stylized form of storytelling which involves the use of only classifiers and pantomime. Conventional, arbitrary signs are not used but rather iconic or descriptive signs. Sign Mime borrows cinematic techniques to present the story through different perspectives. Participants will develop individual stories through hands-on guided processes. Class size will be limited to enhance individual development.
Space is limited to 18 participants. Pre-registration required.
This workshop will be presented in ASL. Interpreters will not be provided.
