Performances and presentation [Chris Holt, Brenda Liebman Aron, Ilene Liebman Youngs, Jose Saldana]

Chris Holt performs a poem, "Evolution," then Brenda Liebman Aron and Ilene Liebman Youngs present "Building Blocks of ASL Storytelling." This presentation describes the standard requirements of ASL storytelling which includes at its most basic, a specific form of rhythm and at its most complex, the nuances and climactic pauses that are the key to excellent storytelling characteristics. At the heart of American Sign Language storytelling are the stories themselves that have gone through changes as they are passed down from one storyteller to another over the generations in Deaf families. Lastly, Jose Saldana performs a dramatic narrative, "Wolf Land."
