ARTE E OLHAR – Promoting the inclusion of the deaf/hearing through theatre
Arte e olhar uses theatre to promote the inclusion of the deaf/hearing from the D. Maria II school cluster in Braga, a benchmark bilingual school.
The project included not only students, but their teachers and families as well. Hearing participants will learn Portuguese Sign Language (PSL or LGP in Portuguese) and gain insight into some of the characteristics of the deaf community to help improve communication between the groups. Together, they will create and put on a play at the Circo Theatre in Braga. The performance will be an important tool to encourage the inclusion of deaf students, incorporating PSL as a performative utterance of artistic expression and understanding of the world.
Project supported under the 1st edition of the PARTIS & Art for Change initiative, promoted by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and the ‘la Caixa’ Foundation.
