Sign Language Interpreting for Theatre: A Collaborative Approach
By Lynnette Taylor, Stephanie Feyne, and Candace Broecker Penn
A groundbreaking and comprehensive guide on the art and collaborative practice of sign language interpreting for the theatre written by three veteran performing arts interpreters.
Description
Written by three veteran interpreters with deep roots in the Deaf community and the performing arts, Sign Language Interpreting for Theatre is the first of its kind: a comprehensive guide to the art of sign language interpreting for the theatre as a collaborative practice. Drawing from their years of experience of interpreting On- and Off-Broadway and blending the theoretical with the practical, Lynnette Taylor, Stephanie Feyne, and Candace Broecker Penn provide guiding principles, best practices, processes, and strategies for creating dynamic, collaborative, culturally-grounded sign language translations for theatre performances. Written in an engaging, conversational style, chapters include in-depth discussion of both theory and practice, providing techniques for translation and stagecraft along with practical insights for issues such as interpreting team attributes, character depiction, working with scripts, song translations, interpreting for young audiences, and interpreting virtual and recorded performances. With its emphasis upon dialogic interpretation, shared responsibility, and alliances, this guide is an indispensable resource for interpreters, educators, and theatre professionals.
Lynnette Taylor, Stephanie Feyne, and Candace Broecker Penn, veteran theatre interpreters for On-and Off-Broadway, ground their work in a teamed collaborative approach. Curriculum developers and core instructors for the annual national “Interpreting for the Theatre” Seminar sponsored by the Theatre Development Fund and the Juilliard School in New York City, they continue their work providing training and interpreting in a variety of settings, including theatre, film, and TV, both in front of the audience and behind the scenes.

AND for those interested in languaging and linguistics:
The Crip Linguistics Reader
Edited by Octavian Robinson, Erin Moriarty, and Jon Henner
A bold, interdisciplinary collection of essays from Crip Linguistics, an emerging framework which challenges dominant narratives and applies a critical disability lens to languaging and linguistics.
Description
How you language is who you are; language shapes your identity, relationships, and experiences. The Crip Linguistics Reader is a wide-ranging and groundbreaking collection that challenges normative ideas about what is considered “good language.” This volume draws on the expertise of contributors across a variety of fields in the humanities, social sciences, and the arts; these writers bring an interdisciplinary and critical disability perspective to languaging by challenging dominant paradigms in linguistic inquiry. Essays include a wide range of topics, such as examining the relationship between disability and race in the context of language, investigating the compulsory nature of specific forms of language education, elucidating forms of linguistic care, and exploring the transmission of ableist ideologies about language. An essential read for scholars and educators, this collection showcases Crip Linguistics as an analytical framework that will transform ideological boundaries of language and communication along with our understanding of what languaging can be.
