Produced by Johnny Robinson, a Hearing professor at Rochester Institute of Technology and shot over a 2 year period at Falcon Ridge Folk Festival VISUAL LYRICS is a 40 minute documentary video about ASL interpreting for performing arts. It considers the perspectives of all those associated with stage interpreting. The film reveals performance interpreting as an art form in it's own right. As we watch 4 interpreters interpret a variety of music, poetry & storytelling, the interpreters reveal the incredibly arduous task of processing, on the fly, poetic content from one syntactical structure to another. All spoken commentary is open captioned for Deaf viewers and all on-screen ASL is voice interpreted for the Signing-Impaired. (40 min.)
