Red earth theatre company is a company based in Derby and they work with and cater for a range of people with hearing problems.
They work with hearing and deaf actors on stage all of which when it comes to the performance know how to sign, they work the signing elements into the performance allowing the deaf to enjoy the play as well rather than feeling separated by the use f a separate signer at the edge of the stage.
The designs have to be thought out carefully allowing the signing to stand out against the background and the costumes have to allow the actors to be able to move their hands freely.
This type of theatre allows diversity of hearing and deaf people, allows them o enjoy the performance at the same level allowing more access to a variety of people.
