Currently, I am learning ASL, or American Sign.
Well- what does this have to do with EVOKE?
I want to be able to communicate better with those who are deaf - and I love ASL :) There is something about communicating with my body, the expressions, the movements that is very powerful. I am thinking about making sign videos for EVOKE. Does that sound like a good idea?
I think ASL is such an example of innovation, using what one HAS to make things happen. And, as a form of communication I find it extremely effective and real. When I think of what I can invent, what I can change, what I can start and social movements...
I first must think of myself. How I present, how I communicate, how I learn, understand and become involved.
Then I must engage others. Present. Ask. Provoke. Encourage. Wonder. Laugh. Discover.
Then I must do: Discover. Think. Create. Action.
What is something YOU have that can engage others? A particular population? Music is a powerful tool, so is a wonderful smile, or ability to comfort others. Do you know a unique language? Do you have special knowledge? When you think of you and your talents: how do you engage?
I engage with my body movements (not in the sexual way) gestures and observations. I mimic others in their day-to-day tasks. I attempt new things.
I learn, I communicate, & I share.
Anybody else ASL here?
