Helen Keller's Beloved Climbing Tree Cut Down

Deaf News: Cut down a popular 200-year-old oak tree at the Alabama childhood home of Helen Keller.

TUSCUMBIA - Section by section, the sprawling water oak plummeted Monday onto the grounds of Ivy Green at the hands of a whirring chainsaw.



Sue Pilkilton, executive director of Ivy Green, the birthplace of Helen Keller, watched the tree’s presence in the front yard dwindle.



“Isn’t that the saddest thing?” Pilkilton lamented. “We have tried for years to save that tree.”



Having stood for more than 200 years, the tree had particular significance in Keller’s young life. She enjoyed climbing it as a child, and once became stranded there in the midst of a storm until her teacher, Anne Sullivan, came to her rescue, Pilkilton said.



“Miss Sullivan had to climb up there and get her,” she said.



Members of the board that oversees the historic tourist attraction had no alternative but to order the tree removed. A look inside its trunk revealed why. It was hollowed from years of decay and insect infestation.



In July, part of the tree fell during a storm that packed an EF1 tornado... Read more: http://timesdaily.com/news/local/historic-keller-oak-taken-down/article.html

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

What It's Like To Be A Deaf Novelist

Deaf News - ‘Sometimes I turn off my hearing aids and dip below the surface of the sound.’ Sara Nović explains the challenges of being a Deaf author and why deafness is still used as a synonym for stupidity.

The Guardian - Sara Nović's first novel has recently become an audiobook to which I will not listen. The characters have been assigned voices and accents and inflections that I’ll never hear. This is not a complaint, exactly; to have written a book that someone wants to publish in any and all formats is a writer’s dream. But to hold some disc or drive that contains a thing I made, transformed into a new thing I can no longer understand, is a predicament in which few writers find themselves.



This disconnect will appear with increasing frequency as I embark on a series of literary events following the launch of my novel. As an audience member I have been to my share of readings in New York. I go because I am in love with books; I go to be with my friends. But even as a spectator they require a lot of concentration, and sometimes when I’ve worked myself into a cross-eyed headache I turn off my hearing aids and dip below the surface of the sound, let myself drift in the quiet. At my own events I won’t have the choice to opt out.



So far I have read in public only three times, each distressing in the regular ways (an audience!), with the added terror of exposing an increasingly unknowable part of myself – my voice. I can feel my words in my chest and mouth, but can’t be sure of what they sound like out in the world. As far as I’m concerned my voice has no echo; it does not stick to the tape recording. What does it mean to perform for an audience with such limited control of your output?



Books have always provided me with a sense of solace and companionship when I found the hearing world overwhelming. Growing up I filled notebooks with the things I was afraid to say aloud. Libraries, too, seem designed for me – a place where one isn’t supposed to talk, equality under the rule of silence...
