March 2012


Date:  Saturday March 3

Name of Training Event:  Constructed Action and Constructed Dialogue:  Embrace Your Role

Where:  Columbia College, 623 S. Wabash, Room 203, Chicago

Time:  9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, lunch provided

Description of Content:  Who said that?   What are they doing?  What did he just throw?  Any time more than one person is involved in the conversation, it can get confusing.  Then add action on top of that conversation and even the best of us can get lost.  Commonly confused with role shifting, Constructed Action and Constructed Dialogue (CA/CD) take practice to master.  In this workshop we will explore ways to convey the depth and detail of a message by using CA/CD while interpreting English to ASL and ASL to English.  We will discuss when CA/CD is used and the ASL linguistic features that comprise CA/CD.  When we are finished you will know who said that, who did it and be ready to catch the message he just threw at you.  Presented in ASL by Lisa Burckhardt.

Sponsoring organizations:  Sorenson VRS and Columbia College

Fee:  Free;  contributions accepted for the Chicago Hearing Society Youth Program.  Make checks payable to:  CHS Youth Program.
