Over two years the project has brought together Registered Sign Language Interpreters (RSLI’s) with Actors; Directors; Choreographers; Composers; Sound, Light, Audio Visual, Set & Costume Designers; Writers and Dramaturgs; Producers, Programmers, Marketers and Deaf Audience Members as part of Creative Licht’s Knowledge Exchange Programme.

After each Knowledge Exchange Session, a Masterclass was facilitated by a professional in their field and was an opportunity for interpreters to focus on learning a new skill or developing new strategies for performance.

Creative Licht workshops were facilitated by Catherine King and K. Yvonne Strain:
