Contents/Summary
- Summary
- ASL (American Sign Language) Poetry is a performance art form utilizing body language, rhythm and movement to create a three dimensional pictorial equivalent to oral poetry. The film follows a group of Deaf teens introduced to ASL Poetry. Aneta, a member of the group, goes one step forward boldly entering the spoken word slam scene, a highly verbal arena. An Israeli immigrant, she meets Tahani, a hearing Palestinian slam poet. Eventually, the two young women embark on a hearing/deaf collaboration, a performance duet, generating a new form of slam poetry that speaks to both the hearing and the Deaf.
