More about Disneyland Interpreters

There is a neat video along with this article from the Orange County Register. and an interview with a Disneyland employee who finally understood the Jungle Cruise.

While I would prefer that they ask the Deaf community for name signs, at least the one describing Mickey Mouse that Disney claims to have thought up is fairly standard.

Musical Interpretation Class

Tonight begins my Musical Interpretation class at Tulsa Community College (I have 2 spots left if you wanna play!)

This is a 8 day class (twice a week for 4 weeks) put together to explore the work and fun that goes into interpreting music in such a way as to incorporate ASL poetic features. The hope is by the end of the class every participant will have a translation of the National Anthem and a song of their own choosing. The "Final" is to perform (singly or as a group) a song of your choosing.

It is one of my favorite classes to teach, as a workshop or a course. I hope I get to share it with you for many summers to come.
