BID Services has been supporting the Deaf community for over 100 years and this event highlights the many ways in which deaf people celebrate and explore their musicality. Being Deaf is not necessarily a barrier to experiencing and enjoying music and the Deaf community have a very rich culture in interpreting music through sign language and visual representation. 

The event showcases a range of very talented deaf artists and musicians who each have their own extraordinary talents, which will appeal to both deaf and hearing audiences. On stage is Richard Carter, a well-known and gifted deaf poet with a natural talent for words, sign-song performer Rebecca Anne Withey, who marries the sound of music with music to the eyes, John Smith, a profoundly deaf comedian, who engages his audience in hours of laughter reflecting on growing up deaf in a hearing world, Riccardo, a dancer, who creates a truly visual experience though movement and song, and a Birmingham-based theatre company called InteGreat, who perform singing and drama.

Anyone with an interest in understanding more about deaf culture and the arts will find this an exciting, vibrant, and insightful programme. BID Services are encouraging as many people as possible to come along to the Deaf Cultural Centre and witness for themselves these extraordinary talented artists.
