Interpreters often hear the phrase “show me, don’t tell me” when receiving feedback, this concept can be difficult to convey for working interpreters to improve their interpretations. Interpreters will often ask what does it mean and how do you do it? This workshop is geared to developing the necessary skills to incorporate the use of gestures and visual communication beyond and within the structures of American Sign Language to “show” rather than “tell.” Participants will engage in activities that will tap into their intuitive use of gestures to communicate concepts into a visual format to show rather than to tell. Participants will be required to use only visual gestural communication while participating in this workshop. Activities such as improvisation, visualization, natural use of classifiers, and natural non-manual signals will be covered in this exciting and fun filled workshop. Lunch will be on your own!
