THREAD: Development of Makaton in the UK. Tony Hanforth Kathy Jonhson worked for the Royal Association for Deaf people (RAD). In the early 1970s, they were asked to teach BSL (gained from Deaf people) at Botleys Park Hospital. /1 oro.open.ac.uk/1989/1/SheehyD…

After visiting Mykonos and seeing the animals, I have donated to 100% volunteer-run MykonosAnimals.org, to help reduce the unnecessary suffering on the island. If you're in a position to help: mykonosanimals.org/donate/

What an amazing project! Huge congratulations to Paula Garfield & Deafinitely Theatre for such an ambitious project to raise money for domestic violence charities. The cast, some of whom haven't acted before, were all phenomenal and I was proud to be part of it! #VaginaMonologues

Tonight!

Here's a lovely fun video made by @deafsteph95 about our work together on Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama A Christmas Carol, which has been such a fun project to work on with a beautiful, open and welcoming director, cast and crew. Huge thanks to both Steph & our other BSL consultant @MsJeanStClair ❤️

Absolutely loved ‘A Xmas Carol’ at Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama tonight. Loved how Erin SiobhanHutching who seamlessly moved around the cast & it was just beautiful to watch especially the small comedic interactions she did. Big up to @deafsteph95 & @MsJeanStClair supporting her with the BSL translations.

I had such a blast working on this show with Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama. I very rarely do integrated BSL performer work, generally keeping my acting and interpreting work separate, but I'm really glad I said yes this time to this gorgeous show, with such a lovely welcoming team and talented actors.

So proud of @dh_ensemble and our work!

This looks amazing! Wish I was free to be part of it. Check it out!

Really excited about this and can't wait to work Lyric Hammersmith Theatre and the other great venues.
