When asked to interpret/translate Shakespeare, do you start looking for the nearest exit? Have no fear! This workshop will allow participants to look at Shakespeare’s plays and analyze characters, themes, and language. This workshop will provide you with the tools to translate text into ASL without sacrificing content, and preserving the fun and linguistic integrity of the language master William Shakespeare (and other writers with similar styles).
Educational Objectives:
At the conclusion of this workshop, the participants will be able to:
1) Analyze the content of bodies of text that incorporate challenging contextual formats of English
2) Translate given bodies of text into ASL parameters without strong reliance on only signed English vocabulary
3) To recognize and apply the integrity of the material provided while translating it into clear and concise visual information
4) Challenge traditional mental and linguistic obstacles in translating Shakespeare and similar works of literature.
