Performing Arts in Sign Language

Performing Arts in Sign Language involve expressive, often theatrical, presentations—such as theater, dance, or music—delivered using sign language to communicate with Deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences. These performances incorporate visual gestures, facial expressions, body movements, and sign language to convey storytelling, emotion, and cultural themes. They serve to celebrate Deaf culture, promote inclusivity, and provide an accessible artistic experience that emphasizes visual communication. Essentially, it combines the dynamic, creative aspects of performing arts with the rich, expressive language of sign language, making artistic expression available and meaningful to Deaf communities.
