EMBODIED STORYTELLING: Using ASL Parameters to Enhance Performance & Interpretation

Register

Whether you're an interpreter looking to sharpen your visual storytelling or an actor eager to bring more intentionality to your movement, this workshop is for you! Through lecture and guided exercises led by deaf actor Joshua Castille, participants will explore how ASL's structure-body language, spatial mapping, and gestural precision-enhances storytelling.

Interpreters will refine their ability to anchor concepts with clarity and actors will gain tools to deepen their physical presence and make stronger choices on stage. In the end all participants will come away with an increased understanding of how the parameters of American Sign Language (ASL) create clear, intentional performances in space and time.

This workshop will be presented in English and in sign language.
