#DeafTalent - Deaf Roles Belong To Deaf Actors

VIDEO: #DeafTalent - Campaign: Hollywood, stop hiring hearing actors for Deaf roles. Deaf people have the right to represent themselves!



As a result of this #DeafTalent campaign, the world will have a much better understanding of the Deaf community’s standpoint on not allowing Deaf roles to be given out to hearing people. Many people do not realize that they have been oppressing Deaf actors for many years now.

We hope that this new awareness will also create many more job opportunities for Deaf people all over, both in front and behind the camera, as well as other places. We believe that this campaign will ignite many new discussions and ideas and help cause a shift in societal awareness.

Huffington Post - The #DeafTalent hashtag began making waves after a NY Daily News interview with Catalina Sandino Moreno raised red flags in the Deaf community. Moreno, a hearing actress, was cast to play a Deaf woman in the leading role of her new film Medeas. But in the NYDN interview, it became clear that Moreno has had very little exposure to deafness or Deaf culture.

VIDEO [CC] - They may not be able to hear, but Deaf people still take great pleasure from music.

The Daily Beast - As Justin Jones entered a Rockaway-bound subway train on Tuesday night, there was an unusually vibrant scene: as a speaker blared the heavy beats to one of summer’s catchiest pop songs, a group of teens and young adults danced, laughed and sang--or rather, signed--their hearts out.



This enthusiastic group wasn’t disrupting the daily commutes of New York residents to raise money. The actors, who were mostly Deaf, were helping a young girl become comfortable with who she was.



A camera panned each of their faces. The director yelled, “Cut!”



Justin was standing on the platform of a once-abandoned station in Downtown Brooklyn that had been converted into the New York Transit Museum in 1976 while simultaneously offering a filming location for Hollywood blockbusters.



On Tuesday, the 1960s-era car served as the set for the Deaf Professional Arts Network’s (D-PAN) as a visit to the set of the Deaf Professional Arts Network’s latest music video shows.

The cast of Spring Awakening, which is returning to Broadway with the help of Deaf West Theater--who produce their shows in American Sign Language (ASL)-- translated the lyrics of Walk the Moon’s “Different Colors” for viewers who have lost the ability to hear.



“Deaf people feel music. They just don’t get the whole experience,” Joel Martin, the co-founder of D-PAN, told The Daily Beast. “What we are doing is turning it into something that is accessible...

Reality Television Needs More Deaf Talent

VIDEO: Even though our reality is full of individuals who are Deaf/HoH, only a handful of this population has been given an opportunity to join the cast of a reality TV show.



Huffington Post by Lydia Callis - Cycle 22 of America's Next Top Model premiered last week and one contestant, Nyle DiMarco, really captured viewers' attention. Not only is he charming and, as Tyra Banks herself said, "finneeeee. DiMarco is the very first Deaf contestant to compete on ANTM, and he quickly became a fan favorite.



Based on the overwhelmingly positive audience reaction, it's worth asking the question once again: Why don't we see more #DeafTalent representation in mainstream media?

According to a 2005 Gallaudet University survey, approximately 13 percent of U.S. citizens are Deaf/HoH -- which is roughly one out of every eight people. Even though our reality is full of individuals who are Deaf/HoH, only a handful of this population has been given an opportunity to join the cast of a reality TV show. They don't fit into the "reality" that producers are trying to create, and that is a shame for all of us.



Over the past few years, we have seen a small number of Deaf/HoH personalities get the chance to shine on reality TV. Actress Marlee Matlin made it all the way to the final episode of The Celebrity Apprentice, raising over a million dollars for charity. On hit CBS show The Amazing Race, Deaf competitor Luke Adams traveled the world conquering many challenges and ultimately came in third place.

Deaf Lebanese Contemporary Dance Performance

VIDEO: English Subtitles - Deaf Lebanese choreographer Pierre Geagea’s project combines dance with sign language.

StepFeed - Pierre Geagea, a Lebanese choreographer and contemporary expressionist dancer, has created a special kind of performance that fuses the grace and fluidity of sign language, with the emotional depth of modern dance.



Geagea says the idea for” Mother Tongue” came when he thought of “mixing contemporary ballet with expressionism and sign language.” This was his first step in taking the essence of dance being a form of communication to a whole new level.

The 34-year-old, who was born Deaf, spent his childhood unable to hear or speak. In his mid-teens, after strenuous effort and endless sessions of speech therapy, he learned to read lips. Donating to Pierre Geagea’s fundraising campaign site: Projects Mothertongue



Geagea says that dance helped him communicate when he lacked the ability to speak. “When I was around 10,” Geagea told Beirut.com, “I didn’t know much about dance but I used to love Michael Jackson”.



This was a performer who inspired him, and he immediately found dance to be a form of self-expression and a source of strength... Read more: https://stepfeed.com/more-categories/culture/deaf-lebanese-choreographers-project-combines-dance-sign-language
