Out There Arts National centre for outdoor arts and circus

What is British Sign Language?

BSL is a visual means of communicating using gestures, facial expressions and body language. It is the first or preferred language among the d/Deaf community in the UK.

At the Out There Festival selected performances of shows with dialogue will be British Sign Language Interpreted. The place the interpreter will stand during the performance will be marked as ‘BSL Zone’.

Visual Shows

We have a lot of shows this year that are visual and feature little to no dialogue. Therefore, even though they are not BSL interpreted they are accessible for d/Deaf audiences.
