Deaf Variety Show

In Tune, Deaf Variety Show

A number of talented deaf artists and musicians, who each have their own extraordinary talents, performed in front of of the Lord Mayor and his wife alongside a large number of people.

All of the artists work were enjoyed by both deaf and hearing audiences. For instance, we have a profoundly deaf flute player Ruth Montgomery and her work can be enjoyed by hearing people through sound, and as a visual experience for deaf people, where graphics techniques and video play an important part.

The artists who performed included a deaf poet, Richard Carter, who has a natural gift for poetry, a sign-song performer Jayne Fletcher, who marries the sound of music with music to the eyes, transforming the music into a truly visual experience, Ricky Ricardo Hoyte, who dances and signs to songs, and InteGreat, a theatre company, who perform using sign songs and drama.
