Heads UP! HIGH
extends Heads UP! for a more mature audience exploring challenging
social themes using a myriad of dramatic skills.
Shakespeare is turned upside-down in Romeo & Juliet's struggle
between the Deaf and hearing worlds. Famous poems are
transformed into inspiring visual and dance movements while comedy and drama are
crisply presented through Vaudeville. Auslan, sign-singing and improv test and
develop student skills which are enhanced through the TAJ Workshop.
Our comprehensive Teachers Pack designed to extend and reinforce
learning from the show is included in the price of all performances.
The Pack includes discussion questions, extension activities, games
and worksheets.
