Visual Vernacular (VV) is a diverse, expressive mode of communication using gesture for storytelling in American Sign Language (ASL). This hands-on 3 hour workshop will focus on providing techniques for incorporating visual vernacular in ASL interpretation and in story telling.

Visual Vernacular will include techniques such as: long shot, fast/slow motion, zoom, panoramic view, role shifting and many more. Justin Perez will provide examples and explain how these features enhance storytelling ability. VV is an important form of communication for many Deaf people to reinforce, enhance and clarify difficult concepts in ASL.

Participants will:

Demonstrate 5 features of Visual Vernacular (VV) by repeating examples shown by the presenter
