SIGNS (2016)

SIGNS is a contemporary dance piece, fusing contemporary dance with British Sign Language. Performed by two female dancers, this exciting and intricate duet takes inspiration from Colin Tompson's poem 'If I told you I was deaf would you turn away'. Accompanied by an originally composed music score, it is a highly physical performance that explores the importance of body language in British Sign Language, and the barriers of a deaf person trying to communicate in a hearing world. 

SIGNS is an Arts Council England funded project with support from Arch 197, Candoco, Hive and Clarence Mews.

Reviews for SIGNS (2016)

"Heywood and Sanchez perform tightly woven choreography with technical assurance. They create a dynamic that captures the fermenting tension when good intentions slip between the cracks of misunderstanding. Nicolaides uses Heywood and Sanchez with a nuanced calligraphy, fostering a intricate clarity between the two languages. " (Phillipa Newis, 2016)

"Brilliant! Innovative choreography" (Audience Member, 2016)
