Deaf Evaluators:

Gate Communications uses Deaf Evaluators at each of our BSL Workshops. If you are Deaf and would like to serve the interpreting community through being a Deaf Evaluator contact our office at workshops@gatecommunications.org. There is no cost to attend as an evaluator. Deaf individuals receiving CEU's do have to register as a standard participant whether or not they choose to serve as an evaluator once the workshop has begun.

 

Accessibility:

If you are attending the workshop and need accommodations of any kind, including a Sign Language Interpreter, please contact our office ASAP to be sure we can inform the hosts of your needs. The workshop will be presented in voice and will include signed songs but will not have an interpreter fully present unless requested.

Bringing 
the Stage to Life -
EXTENDED
October 14th & 15th, 2022
Brainerd, MN

This workshop is perfect for all levels of interaction with performance. Professional performance interpreters, educational interpreters, religious interpreters, conference interpreters, VRS interpreters, students, all can find valuable information in this workshop. This is a rare opportunity to laugh and learn and be challenged in ways you never have.


Each element of this workshop builds on the next. It tackles musical and musical theatre starting you at the basic process of getting a job, then covering the general preparation for your interpretation, moving to technical aspects of the field, philosophies of performance interpreting, skill development, performance practice, glossing, then finally personal analysis. This workshop emphasizes a lot of feedback. We do our best to have deaf consumers available on site to evaluate and challenge the attendees as we go. This workshop is a safe place to try new skills and techniques and a safe place to grow. No one is expected to be a pro when they walk in the door. We know interpreters want to grow but no one loves to "look bad" in front of our peers. Beginners to pros will all be challenged so everyone is "in the same boat". It's the perfect place to learn.


Hate musical intepreting? There are always a few of those who attend. Don't worry, these concepts work great in a science class, a doctor's office, in the court room, any place where interpreters go.

Gate promotes learning environments based on love and respect.
