Hello,
I’m an MFA candidate at SFU. Currently I’m working on a performance as a
director. It’s a dance- theater piece and the whole idea is based on ”
Performativity of words”. It’s a research that I’m doing between Linguistics
and Performance Studies. That’s why I’m trying to find a person who knows
sign language and I also prefer him/her to utter the words a bit. So basically I think I would need more a deaf performer.
My performance would be on next Monday, October 20th. It would take just 15
minutes at SFU downtown, Woodwards. I will need the performer for one or two
rehearsals before that day. And the performer wil just seat on a chair and
will say the text.
I really appreciate if you forward this email to people who might be
interested in collaborating in an artistic project.
with best regards,
Pegah Tabassinejad
