Alison currently work as both a stage manager and BSL/English Interpreter. In addition she teaches at Rose Bruford College.
She has joined the collective because she believes that off stage roles are not widely known about, especially among d/Deaf and ethnic minority communities. She has enjoyed a 30 year career off stage and she would like to see others enjoying a similarly rewarding and creative career.
Technical Theatre BSL is for d/Deaf people and others working with them – interpreters, directors, stage managers etc. The aim is to promote off stage careers to d/Deaf people and to provide a resource for access to training. The glossary of terms is available here – www.techtheatrebsl.wordpress.com
