Presenter: William Mager
4b. Arts, Film and Culture within the Deaf community
This topic aims to familiarize learners with the vast resources available within Deaf organisations and Deaf media, empowering them to engage with and contribute to these platforms. BSL Zone, BBC See Hear, and Deafinitely Theatre provide essential representation and storytelling, ensuring Deaf voices are heard across television, theatre, arts and digital media. Opportunities to get involved in arts, TV and media, such as Deaf Set, BSL Zone’s behind-the-camera database, and Deafinitely Theatre encourage Deaf creatives from a diverse range of backgrounds to shape their industry. FUSE Theatre, along with accessibility services like Stagetext and TheatreSign, enhance the experience for Deaf audiences, although many theatres require signing up for their Access scheme to fully benefit from these resources. By understanding and utilizing these platforms, learners can support Deaf-led initiatives, celebrate Deaf arts and culture, and advocate for wider accessibility in entertainment and media. Please note this topic will be delivered by a range of deaf professionals within the arts, film, tv and media sector focusing on their particular area of expertise.
