    LotuSIGN Seeks Performance and Live Music Interpreters

    Posted Sunday June 08 2014 at 7:17 pm

    LotuSIGN is a full service access management agency for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, growing from the Alive Performance Interpreting agency founded in 2006.  Frequently cited as a world-class provider of American Sign Language (ASL) services, LotuSIGN organized and led interpreting at the 2013 Presidential Inauguration in Washington, DC.  LotuSIGN is also a major contributor to the professional interpretation of music and other performing arts.

    Steady growth and an increase in shows means it's time to recruit PERFORMANCE and LIVE MUSIC INTERPRETERS to continue to meet the needs of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community!  Interpreters are needed nationwide.  Apply online.

    All applications will be considered through July 31, 2014.  Priority consideration will be given those received before June 13, 2014.



    Staying Sane as an Artist: Keeping Your Creative Spirit Alive

    Posted Friday May 30 2014 at 3:01 pm

    The Goodnow Library in Sudbury MA is holding a panel discussion titled "Staying Sane as an Artist: Keeping Your Creative Spirit Alive" Wednesday June 4, 2014.

    Nadine Kenney Johnstone wrote Nine Babies on Ice, a memoir about facing death while trying to conceive through In Vitro Fertilization.  Both baby and book are realities.

    Luke Bittel made a horrible movie called "Help Wanted".  Undaunted, he made Some Assembly Required: They Don't Teach You Failure in Film School, a documentary about the making of "Help Wanted".  It's doing very well.

    RISD professor Clara Lieu explores the themes of isolation and mental illness through drawing, painting, and sculpture.  Her book Learn, Create and Teach: A Guide to Building a Creative Life, has led countless artists through their dark nights of the soul.

    This is the kind of spirit that will be celebrated during the panel discussion.  Other artists include award-winning animator Steve Gentile and actor/director Donna Folan.
