BSL (British Sign Language) has its own grammar, which doesn't match written English grammar.
There are also phrases which are readily intelligible, although actually nonsensical, to hearing people, which are impossible to easily sign, as BSL is very visual-spatial, so relies on concrete concepts.
(A recent example from a play script was the lines: "150 years ago, the future came. Factories grew like weeds." - BSL doesn't allow for two different time periods - the 'past' of 150 years ago, and 'the future' - to occur simultaneously, and simile - 'factories grew like weeds' - isn't something that is readily conveyed in BSL.)
Morgana, who is a Level 3 BSL user, with familiarity with Level 4 concepts and signs, is available to translate English scripts to BSL English, allowing D/deaf actors whose first language is BSL to be fully included in theatre and drama.
This service is charged at £120 per act (eg; 1 act play = £120, 3 act play = £360); a 15% discount is offered for amateur companies who charge a purely nominal ticket fee for performances. Turnaround is 2-5 working days, dependent on script length.
Public Speaking
£500 sole appearance, or £200 panel appearance.
Topics covered:
. Lived Experience - Sight Loss
. Lived Experience - Schizophrenia
. Lived Experience - Male Identity as a Trans Man
. Lived Experience - 'Female Autism' as a Trans Woman
. Masculinity In a Feminine-Focused World
Exploring modern roles for contemporary masculinity, why men are struggling with their social transition period, and what it feels like to be a 21st-century man facing many responsibilities which are still centred as "women's work", such as care, household management, etc.
. Surviving and Thriving Car-Free
Discussing the process of managing daily life, in rural England, with disability, without the ability to drive (and without the money to employ a chauffeur, or take taxis!)
Minimum 72hrs notice for public speaking engagements.
