A Tough Act to Follow - Theatrical Interpreting (0.3)

  • UNCG School of Ed. Bldg. Room 120 1300 Spring Garden Street Greensboro, NC, 27412 United States (map)

There’s no business like show business! Theatrical interpreting can be both simpler – and much more complex – than other interpreting assignments. This workshop will introduce you to theatrical terminology, venue structure and policies, and strategies for preparing for an interpreted performance such as script analysis, interactions with production staff, and teaming with your fellow interpreter(s). Our focus will be on interpreting for Deaf audiences at both touring shows and locally produced theatre. This workshop is designed both for experienced performance interpreters and those who have yet to interpret a play or musical.
