@sophieLstone @VCRJ90 @CathyMager I did! It. Was. Beautiful. Intimate, joyful, honest... beautiful. Loved the visual effects with the bubbles. Much kudos to all involved, it did my heart good to see creative BSL projected in the middle of the city for all to see. Beautiful. #DeafCan #BSL #Poetry

Honestly, the only word I understood there was 'awesome' but I'll take it 😁 was a lovely productive day with @nrjonesmusic, Isobel, @BslParr, @jensomelunn et al at Parc and Dare!

@Purple_Terp Thanks! 💜 backatcha :)

Wonderful news 💜💜💜 @DeafFirefly

@TheaPetrou @poetclare @MPTmagazine Thanks!

@poetclare @MPTmagazine @DeafFirefly Congratulations @DeafFirefly ! This is so exciting!

Exciting times for BSL! Between @RoseAylingEllis's incredible success and a BSL act on the cards, 2022 is off to a cracking start, onwards and upwards!

The publishers also welcome translations into #BSL so spread the word (signs!) @ArtsDeaf @BSL_lives @deaftalentcltv @DeafFirefly

Artist Call Out! 📢 Derby Theatre is searching for a Deaf Performer for their next co-production The Emperor’s New Clothes. It is the perfect opportunity to perform on both the #DerbyTheatre & @polkatheatre stage. Deadline - Tues 25 Jan How to apply - bit.ly/32ncwny

Word of the day is ‘sparple’ (14th century): to deflect unwanted attention from one thing by making a big deal of another.

Just a few more days to submit, can be any sign language so long as translation is in English. Come on #deaf poets around the world! Be lovely to see a variety of signed poems for this #SignPoetry #BSLPoetry #ASLPoetry #AuslanPoetry #JustAboutAnySignLanguageYouLikePoetry

@sparkycaro @BeckyCBarry Aww, thanks!

@BeckyCBarry @DeafFirefly Couldn’t agree more @DeafFirefly is very talented indeed.

Total honour to be part of this, playing a certain Chief Medical Officer! Watch this to see the question of #access being flipped on its head, then watch again for @sparkycaro's turn as BoJo - one the best things I've seen all year. The BEST. #WhereIsTheInterpreter #deaf #BSL

One moment of silence can help a community feel heard. This is our BBC @RoseAylingEllis @pernicegiovann1 @bbcstrictly

*sniffles* What. A. Show. Now... not that I'm biased or anything... Go Rose! Go Rose! Go Rose! #BBCStrictly #StrictlyComeDancing #GiveRoseTheGlitterball #OnceForTheDancingAndAgainForChangingPerceptions #YouRock @RoseAylingEllis

This is where I'll be tonight - it's not just free, it's #BSLinterpreted :) #poetry #art #literature in #BSL, yes please!

@LisaDMKelly @Carcanet Thanks so much! 🙏💙

Wow! @DeafFirefly is sooooo talented. Love how they have translated the title poem of my @Carcanet collection into BSL & captured the intense learning process of trying to learn a new language.
