Often as educational interpreters the teacher uses storybooks to history books to teach lessons. As an interpreter we need to make sure we show these stories as they are meant to be in ASL.
Presenter Biographies: Paula Debes Reece, MA, CI/CT
Keith Wann has been performing since 2002, starting with a Sign Language Improv group, and then in 2004 his solo career quickly took off due to several parody music videos going viral. He semi-retired his live stage comedy show in 2017 to focus on web/studio projects (www.SignItASL.com).
Combining side splitting physical humor, with heartfelt real life stories from his childhood as a hearing child with Deaf parents, has become his comedic trademark among the ASL Community, and is an original breakthrough performing ASL artist who has been featured in several short films with ASL and currently stars in a popular ASL Children's APP called Signed Stories. He has also done several commercials for Pepsi, appeared in High Maintenance, Quantico, Law and Order, and several short films with Deaf Directors and Actors.
Currently working with JC Films to find Faith inspired stories within the ASL Community.
