Hey guys,
I just got a text form one of my friends inviting me to something which I think is pretty awesome. She wants me to go with her to see a magician perform for a group of children. The thing is that it is an event for deaf children. Which got me thinking. Firstly it is an amazing gesture of kindness which should go without saying. But it made me think of performing without being able to speak to my audience. There are a lot of points when I rely on saying something to make people laugh or to just distract them from what I am doing at that very second. I can only imagine how hard it must be to communicate what you are doing with people who cant hear you. Now I am running under the assumption that they will have a signer translating everything that he says. But even still it sounds like a tough challange. So now I have a question for you all. How would you feel about performing with those kinds of limitations? Without using your voice to misdirect. What effects would you perform?
