DEAF – PROFESSIONAL PERFORMER: HOW TO ACHIEVE IT?
The project “WE DID NOT AGREE TO THIS” invites you to an exclusive event during which deaf performer Marko Vuoriheimo from Finland and actor and theatre researcher Dominykas Vaitiekūnas will present the methodological publication “HOW TO CONNECT GESTURE WITH MUSIC?” Another guest of the event, Debbie Z Rennie, a deaf theatre director from Sweden, will share her experience as a professional theatre director.
At the end of the event, we will have a discussion to find an answer to the question of why there is still no single deaf professional performing arts artist in Lithuania. How could we change this?
The event is aimed at inclusive education professionals, art teachers, educators, higher education teachers, performing arts professionals and anyone interested in inclusive arts and education.
