The Arts Council of Wilmington/NHC is pleased to partner with Arts Council England for an exciting community residency featuring Signdance Collective. The touring performance company is a deaf and disabled artist-led culturally diverse company. From 1987 to 2000 SDC’s directors pioneered Signdance theatre, a mix of Sign-theatre, dance and live original music. Since 2001, with strong partnerships in Europe, the international work of SDC was established as a platform to further develop the art-form through collaborative practice. For more information, contact Rhonda Bellamy at 910-343-0998.
Special thanks to UNCW Office of the Arts, the Dreams Center for Arts Education, and The Juggling Gypsy for providing performance venues!
Workshops are free and you can join us in making a new performance!
