ASL SLAM! 9/23 |
"ASL SLAM" Douglas Ridloff Welcomes Signmark from Finland! www,signmark.biz Signmark was born deaf into a world where music is for the hearing. He pursued his childhood dream and became the first deaf in the world to get a record deal.
Signmark (a.k.a. Marko Vuoriheimo) started spreading his message over strong beats where hard, low frequencies and bass are playing a crucial part in his performance. These elements help him adapt to the rhythm as he proves; music is more than what you can hear! Also hip-hop culture has the tradition of stretching boundaries of art, culture, politics, and society. Rap goes beyond music, lyrics, culture and languages and helped the signing community to find their own voice. With the help from his friends and a large group of volunteers, Signmark released the world’s first sign language hip-hop DVD in 2006. The album “Signmark” takes a stand for equality and aims to bring people together. The debut broke prejudices and awakened people.
Date: September 23rd, 2010 Time: 7PM TO 9:30PM
Admission: $20 @ the Bowery Poetry Club!
The admission will go to ASL SLAM! fund.

PHILOCTETES: a play in ASL 9/23-25 |
It may be a tale of Greek origins, but the story will hardly come across as Greek to anyone.
The Tank and Full Circle Theatre Company present a staged reading of PHILOCTETES, a play by Sophocles, directed by Garrett Zuercher. NOTE: This play simultaneously integrates both spoken English and American Sign Language through a versatile cast composed of deaf, hard of hearing and hearing actors, all of whom sign, making it accessible to all audiences. Performances: * Thursday, September 23rd at 7:30 pm * Friday, September 24th at 7:30 pm * Saturday, September 25th at 2 pm
Location: The 45th Street Theatre, 354 W. 45th Street in Manhattan (between 8th and 9th Avenues).
Cost: $10/ticket
Where to buy tickets: www.brownpapertickets.com/event/121148
The gist: The Tank and Full Circle Theatre Company are producing a monthly staged reading series featuring plays in the public domain with no copyright restrictions. Once a play enters the public domain, it belongs to everyone to do with as they please. As such, The Tank devised the idea of offering up part of the creative process to audience members by selecting the first seven plays along with seven directors, each of whom have very different approaches. Then, by utilizing an Internet voting method, they had their audiences assign a play to each director. The first presentation, in September, is PHILOCTETES, directed by Garrett Zuercher.
As for the story: what do you get when you mix treachery, morality, wounds that won't heal, Hercules's bow and arrows, a chorus of sailors, and the fate of the Trojan War? The answer: a legend that three of the most celebrated Greek playwrights wrote about.
After contracting a snakebite on the way to Troy, Philoctetes finds himself abandoned by his shipmates on a deserted island. Ten years later, Odysseus returns with Neoptolemus to double-down on his deceit by nefariously plotting to seize Philoctetes's weapons, which Odysseus needs (according to prophecy) to win the never-ending war. In this clash of titans, who will emerge as the victor with the spoils of war?
For more information, please contact the producer, Suzan Eraslan, at suz@thetanknyc.org, call 212-563-6269 or visit www.thetanknyc.org.
