Abstract

Abstract:Signed music is a rapidly growing artistic practice that incorporates signed language lyrics and/or features non-lyric- and non-auditory-based pieces The first Deaf-led signed music theatre production, The Black Drum, was performed in Toronto, Canada, and Reims, France, in 2019. Examining The Black Drum's creative development and cast perceptions offers the opportunity for ethical consideration when sharing authentic experience in signed language onstage (that is, one aspect of ownership). For the first time, Deaf professionals felt open—'having permission'—to explore and play with their signed music performances in signed language theatre. This signed musical (and its script) also confronted social justice issues through sharing signing people's experiences on the stage for broad audiences. Deaf (signed language) performers, who experience oppression of their signed language in contemporary society, wished to remain true to their signed language artistic forms onstage while simultaneously engaging diverse audience members (both Deaf and hearing people) to witness and appreciate these signed language performers' unique contributions to humanity in a society dominated by spoken language. The need to express oneself fully relates to all human experience and ultimately enriches Deaf and hearing alike. Engaging diverse audience members meaningfully without sacrificing collective authentic creation and ownership among signing Deaf professionals makes The Black Drum unique and empowering in mainstream theatre.
行为艺术的所有权与参与:黑鼓签名音乐剧个案研究
摘要:手语音乐是一种快速发展的艺术实践,它融合了手语歌词和/或非抒情和非听觉作品。第一部由聋哑人主导的手语音乐剧《黑鼓》于2019年在加拿大多伦多和法国兰斯演出。考察黑鼓乐队的创作发展和对演员的看法,为在舞台上用手语分享真实经验(也就是所有权的一个方面)提供了伦理思考的机会。聋人专业人士第一次感到开放——“有许可”——在手语剧院探索和玩他们的手语音乐表演。这部签名音乐剧(及其剧本)也通过在舞台上向广大观众分享签名人的经历来面对社会正义问题。聋人(手语)表演者在当代社会中经历了手语的压迫,他们希望在舞台上保持他们的手语艺术形式,同时吸引不同的观众(聋人和听力人)来见证和欣赏这些手语表演者在以口语为主导的社会中对人类的独特贡献。充分表达自己的需要与所有人类经验有关,并最终丰富了聋人和听力正常的人。在不牺牲手语聋人专业人士的集体真实创作和所有权的情况下,有意义地吸引不同的观众,使《黑鼓》在主流剧院中独出心裁。
