CTV Montreal: Seeing Voices offers creative outlet for Deaf theatre performers

12/25/2013

A new theatre group is preparing for the debut of a unique stage production.

"Seeing Voices Montreal" provides a creative outlet for actors who are Deaf, and the theatre group is hoping to raise awareness about the Deaf community and build bridges.
Six of the actors in their upcoming version of "Snow White" are Deaf.

Jack Volpe, director of the theatre group, is Deaf and he faces the challenge of directing a mixed cast of actors: some who can hear and others who cannot.

AUDITION CALL: Hearing actors wanted

11/10/2013

You are invited to come to an audition for 2 characters (Happy the dwarf and Sleepy the dwarf) in our upcoming play in March, 2014. The audition dates will be on Friday Nov 15th (anytime between 7-9 pm) and Saturday Nov 16th (anytime between 3-5 pm).
Your audition will last approximately 15-30 minutes and you may pick either date.
Commitment: these two roles are not main characters, yet they play a crucial part to the chemistry between the characters; they also contribute to the story. The rehearsals occur on Saturday evenings at McGill University and they are once a week until the production dress rehearsals in March 2014.

If you are interested, please email production@seeingvoicesmontreal.com indicating which day and time you prefer and we will send you the audition lines (half a page long).

OVERVIEW:
Seeing Voices Montréal is a student-run theatre based at McGill University that uses theatre to raise Deaf awareness in the City of Montréal.

Our first play "Deaf Snow White" is written by a Deaf director and our cast comprises of actors who are Deaf and hearing. The story is adapted with the integration of Deaf culture, and is not simply a sign-language version of the Brothers' Grimm tale. The audience will get the unique opportunity to live through the on-stage interactions and dialogues between the Deaf and hearing characters. Deaf Snow White will give everyone a chance to rethink how universal and inclusive our communication methods are, and bring to light certain obstacles people who live with hidden disabilities (such as Deafness) have to overcome everyday. The simultaneous use of spoken English and American Sign Language on stage will grant accessibility to all and showcase a platform of Deaf awareness using a medium that children and adult can both relate to - theatre.

The long term goal of this project is to bring Deaf Snow White to local schools. Seeing Voices on Tour would be able to spread Deaf awareness on a broad scale and reach everyone in all corners of Montréal.
