In September Unmute celebrated Deaf Awareness Month with a new work to create awareness for this month and sign language. The work brings out a world full of communication through his hands. He’s been in a quiet place finding it difficult to communicate with people who can listen – he is inviting us into his world where hands are louder than the voice.
This time he will be doing this work in collaboration with Jazzart Theatre
The Diversity in Dance Project, funded by the British Council, is a partnership between Artscape and Edinburgh Jazz & Blues Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland. Unmute Dance Theatre will host 3 dancers from the UK for 2 months to work on creating new work. The collaborative work will see able and disabled bodied dancers create and showcase what they’ve created at the Edinburgh Carnival in July 2022. The project will culminate again at the ArtsAbility Festival at the end of the year where dancers will showcase what they’ve been working on throughout the year.
