The PuSh International Performing Arts Festival is very proud to announce this year’s selection of ASL-interpreted performances and events.
Vancouver’s mid-winter performing arts festival features acclaimed local, national and international artists and presents ground-breaking work in theatre, dance, music, and various forms of multimedia and hybrid performance. We are committed to making our festival accessible to all and are reaching out you to communicate our programming that is accessible to the Deaf and Hard of Hearing with hopes that you could spread that information amongst your community.
This year we will provide ASL-interpretation for two shows: Miss Understood by, about and with local poet Antonette Rea as well as a show visiting from Australia, Jack Charles v. The Crown. Furthermore we have curated a number of shows that are accessible without interpretation.
We are also training our volunteers in helping Deaf / HH patrons (idea’s and suggestion are welcome) and we will have ASL-interpretation for the Youth Assembly, a unique opportunity for youth interested in a career in the arts.
Please see attachment for the description of the shows and our group booking prices. If a number of people of your organization are interested, I would highly recommend taking advantage of the group booking prices. Feel free to distribute this document or display it on any noticeboards.
I would be happy to answer any questions about accessibility and help you with your bookings.
Kind regards,
Anika VerveckenÂ
