The Ostru\u017eina organisation reacts to the demand of deaf parents, teachers and guardians who say that there is little creative learning and education and there are few theatre productions for deaf children. With this project, Ostru\u017eina\u00a0 wishes to provide deaf children with creative dance-movement workshops connected to their viewing of the performance Carnival of the Animals. Carnival of the Animals is an interactive performance originally created primarily for hearing children. After 9 years of performance of the show, the creators and performers decided for change. They invited deaf actress and dancer V\u011bra Sagulov\u00e1 on board to collaborate, and the whole performance was recreated in a version which is suitable for both hearing and non-hearing audiences. This innovative version is in its second year of performance, and is offered to both hearing and non-hearing children who find themselves together in a creative and dreamlike space where they can share the same experiences. \u201cIn addition to the cultural experiences, hearing children also gain new information about deaf children and their language, and they meet with their peers who use sign language. Many deaf children have a creative experience in the form of a dance performance with Czech sign language for the very first time,<\/em>\u201d observes deaf actress and dancer\u00a0 V\u011bra Sagulov\u00e1. In the Czech\u00a0 Republic this is the first ever performance with such a target.<\/span><\/p>\n

We can consider the deaf community as a foreign language group through the primary language medium they use. The primary language of communication of the deaf in the Czech Republic is Czech sign language, which is different in nature from spoken languages. It is of a visual motor nature. It is thus created by the hands and received by the eyes (as opposed to audio-oral languages). Deaf children thus naturally acquire a language accessible to their senses, i.e. sign language. For them, Czech is a foreign language, another language that they have to learn in their lives so that they can at least partially function in the society and country in which they live. Although they attend a school for the deaf, even there, they often face a communication barrier (not all pedagogues know Czech sign language). They also face barriers everywhere else: art intended for hearing children is primarily based on sound. It is therefore inaccessible to deaf children. Although we know that the impact of culture and art and creative learning is absolutely crucial for hearing children and their development, deaf children are often excluded from “ordinary” things and creative projects because of the language barrier.<\/span><\/p>\n
