Arts and barrier-free communication through sign language ... First step

LIS and music (music, visual)

I have not attended a course in sign language as some of my colleagues because, being an elective, not in my curriculum, Thus we the argument from ignorance on the matter and, ignorant on the subject, the first thing that came to mind in this regard is whether and how to apply the sign language to music, which as we know it is art, but is first and foremost language and communication. It 'possible that the deaf are able to perceive and make music and live it as an art and way of communicating through the LIS? I asked this question and I tried to document. The notion is that once drew my attention is that of "visual music" explained by two concepts in some way metaphorical but give a good idea: "Music for the Eyes" and "Images for the ears." I found this concept in multimedia website-Words in motion Robert Heller, which deals with linguistic and visual codes in the web. At the same site I found an example that could perhaps explain this concept and make us understand how the LIS is applied in music: it is the project "Gospel in his hands." Last November 2008, at the Teatro di Cossato Micheletti (Biella), the groups "I see Voices" and "Biella Gospel Choir" have in fact presented "Gospel in our hands", a concert of hands and voices.

GOSPEL AMONG THE HANDS (Associations "I see Voices" and "Biella Gospel Choir)
LIS interpretation of the songs and artistic director of the choir
Simone and Roberta Cericola Gherardi


"Simon Cericola (LIS professor of bilingualism in the project" Italian Language - Italian Sign Language "for the integration of deaf children to Cossington) and Robert Gherardi (sign language interpreter) have interpreted the proposals from Biella Gospel songs Choir, from Italian to LIS. They have not stopped by a simple translation of the lyrics of the songs, but they have enriched a visual sense of "aesthetic and poetic interpretation of music, including the general public by the significance of the particular place musica.Hanno attention to transmit sign language, metaphors, and all the cultural nuances of their native language of the songs: the rhythm and the sign are consistent with the trend of melody. The concert has in dialogue worlds that usually remain distant and separate. Two choirs, one deaf and one deaf, lived together in the preparation of the same music, and dance of the hands of the pupils of the school bilingual Cossato found itself in counterpoint with the voices of the Gospel choir: for the audience emotion overwhelming. "

Any words of Simon Cericola summarize the topic under discussion and we give the sense:" The sign language is communication between the deaf, but with sign language you can make art. You can do poetry ... songs. "
