dc.description.abstractThis project illustrates my analysis of the factors necessary when incorporating American Sign Language into a theatrical production. Moreover, my journey of directing the play Watermelon Boatsby Wendy MacLoughlin while incorporating American Sign Language is also included. Specifically, I documented each step of the process from my initial research as to how American Sign Language has been incorporated into theatre in the past, to my experience in the rehearsal environment, and to the final presentation of the piece. I also analyzed the different obstacles that I encountered along the way, as well as depicted how I overcame them. Through this journey, I learned how to be a better overall artist of the theatre, as well as how to be a better communicator. I also learned the importance of valuing the process over the product. As important as it can be to focus on the final outcome, focusing on the final product can also lead to the underappreciation and true evaluation of specific parts of life and experiences.
