Deaf Spotlight is thrilled to announce Epic Jam #1 for 2016 on February 13, 2015 featuring Rosa Lee Timms! She is sure to deliver a magnificent performance in ASL.
The goal of Deaf Spotlight’s Epic Jam is to revitalize the Deaf cultural gathering, where people can share poems and tell stories in American Sign Language (ASL). This is part of a long-time tradition that has passed down from Deaf Clubs and Deaf schools through several generations. This is a fantastic opportunity for you to see, support and develop a larger pool of performers and poets who celebrate ASL. The audience will be encouraged to interact and, in the process, develop an appreciation for why ASL literature is so deeply valued in the Deaf community.
The Rosa Lee Show features the performing artist, Rosa Lee, in her one-woman show live and on stage. This variety show weaves together stories, poetry, video, music and more into a single web of American Sign Language celebration.
Rosa Lee is a performance artist known for her ASL Music Videos on YouTube, her work as a solo performer in "The Rosa Lee Show", and as a lead actor in ASL Films’s feature film Versa Effect.
Since 1993, Rosa Lee has been involved with stage productions, performance troupes, and has appeared in television, videos, DVDs, and CD-ROMs as an actress, sign model, and director.
Hosting the evening with his heartwarming energy inviting audience participation is Nat Wilson. Nat is a National Theater of the Deaf Alum, storyteller, comedian, and host for festivals and events celebrating ASL and Deaf culture. He works as a part-time ASL instructor and ASL theatre instructor in the Deaf Studies program at Seattle Central Community College.
Consider Epic Jam your “open stage” opportunity to share your poems and stories! Come and join us!
