Abarbanell has toured the United States with his critically acclaimed, one-man show, "The Abababa Road Tour" chronicling his experiences growing up hearing in a Deaf family. ABABABA--a name given to him by a friend who could not pronounce Abarbanell--is a proud CODA (Child of Deaf Adults). Alan wrote this show as a loving tribute to his Deaf heritage and CODA family. Each performance is dedicated to Alan's parents Joe and Yetta Abarbanell, whom he credits with his sense of humor, creativity and love for his community. Abababa takes his audiences on a rollercoaster ride of emotion; first pulling them through the hilarious rush and shocking twists of his youth, then plunging them into the tragedy and loss that followed, only to hurl them upwards towards uncontrollable laughter once again! With the simple wave of a hand, Abababa renders each audience exhausted from gales of laughter and torrents of tears by evening's end. All Proceeds go to Project N.A.D.I.N.E. to help continue our advocacy efforts and to start new programs that will serve the Deaf community! <a href="http://projectnadine.org/touracc.htm">http://projectnadine.org/touracc.htm</a> <hr/> The Little Anglers Tournament presented by Austin Bass Club of the Deaf Sat Oct 16 1pm â 7pm Travis County East Metro Park â Bullfrog Pond. <a href="http://www.co.travis.tx.us/tnr/parks/east_metro.asp">http://www.co.travis.tx.us/tnr/parks/east_metro.asp</a> for directions Tournament: 1:00 to 4:00 Dinner: 4:30 to 6:00 Door prizes: 6:00 to 7:00 Hot Dogs, Chili Dogs, Chips and Bottled Water will be provided free!

Abarbanell has toured the United States with his critically acclaimed, one-man show, "The Abababa Road Tour" chronicling his experiences growing up hearing in a Deaf family. ABABABA--a name given to him by a friend who could not pronounce Abarbanell--is a proud CODA (Child of Deaf Adults). Alan wrote this show as a loving tribute to his Deaf heritage and CODA family. Each performance is dedicated to Alan's parents Joe and Yetta Abarbanell, whom he credits with his sense of humor, creativity and love for his community. Abababa takes his audiences on a rollercoaster ride of emotion; first pulling them through the hilarious rush and shocking twists of his youth, then plunging them into the tragedy and loss that followed, only to hurl them upwards towards uncontrollable laughter once again! With the simple wave of a hand, Abababa renders each audience exhausted from gales of laughter and torrents of tears by evening's end. All Proceeds go to Project N.A.D.I.N.E. to help continue our advocacy efforts and to start new programs that will serve the Deaf community! <a href="http://projectnadine.org/touracc.htm">http://projectnadine.org/touracc.htm</a> <hr/> The Little Anglers Tournament presented by Austin Bass Club of the Deaf Sat Oct 16 1pm â 7pm Travis County East Metro Park â Bullfrog Pond. <a href="http://www.co.travis.tx.us/tnr/parks/east_metro.asp">http://www.co.travis.tx.us/tnr/parks/east_metro.asp</a> for directions Tournament: 1:00 to 4:00 Dinner: 4:30 to 6:00 Door prizes: 6:00 to 7:00 Hot Dogs, Chili Dogs, Chips and Bottled Water will be provided free!

Abarbanell has toured the United States with his critically acclaimed, one-man show, "The Abababa Road Tour" chronicling his experiences growing up hearing in a Deaf family. ABABABA--a name given to him by a friend who could not pronounce Abarbanell--is a proud CODA (Child of Deaf Adults). Alan wrote this show as a loving tribute to his Deaf heritage and CODA family. Each performance is dedicated to Alan's parents Joe and Yetta Abarbanell, whom he credits with his sense of humor, creativity and love for his community. Abababa takes his audiences on a rollercoaster ride of emotion; first pulling them through the hilarious rush and shocking twists of his youth, then plunging them into the tragedy and loss that followed, only to hurl them upwards towards uncontrollable laughter once again! With the simple wave of a hand, Abababa renders each audience exhausted from gales of laughter and torrents of tears by evening's end. All Proceeds go to Project N.A.D.I.N.E. to help continue our advocacy efforts and to start new programs that will serve the Deaf community! <a href="http://projectnadine.org/touracc.htm">http://projectnadine.org/touracc.htm</a> <hr/> Published 1st and 3rd Thursday of each month.

Do these people understand each other? Many interpreters find themselves in situations where they are unsure whether their behavior is an ethical conflict, or cultural mediation. In this seminar we will discuss the definition of cultural mediation and the role of the interpreter as the cultural mediator. We will look at the pros and cons of the dual role, and the appropriate way to provide cultural information without violating our code of ethics. We will discuss common situations that arise in our field and determine appropriate ways to address cultural concerns in those settings. Finally, we will review the Code of Ethics and open a discussion in which interpreters have a safe environment to ask questions to their colleagues on "what would you do?"

Abarbanell has toured the United States with his critically acclaimed, one-man show, "The Abababa Road Tour" chronicling his experiences growing up hearing in a Deaf family. ABABABA--a name given to him by a friend who could not pronounce Abarbanell--is a proud CODA (Child of Deaf Adults). Alan wrote this show as a loving tribute to his Deaf heritage and CODA family. Each performance is dedicated to Alan's parents Joe and Yetta Abarbanell, whom he credits with his sense of humor, creativity and love for his community. Abababa takes his audiences on a rollercoaster ride of emotion; first pulling them through the hilarious rush and shocking twists of his youth, then plunging them into the tragedy and loss that followed, only to hurl them upwards towards uncontrollable laughter once again! With the simple wave of a hand, Abababa renders each audience exhausted from gales of laughter and torrents of tears by evening's end.

TED -- <a href="http://www.ted.com/">http://www.ted.com/</a> -- Hosts "Riveting talks by remarkable people, free to the world." TEDx denotes independent spin-off groups modeled on the fascinating TED presentations. Islay is the name of a 1986 novel by Douglas Bullard, who envisioned a place of our own: a country that deaf community calls home. We picked the name because TED requires us to name our event after a place, and if thereâs a place for the deaf community, itâs Islay. On 05.15.10 in Austin, weâre debuting with an inaugural event that will unite 100 progressive, positive, and passionate thinkers and doers for a day sure to inspire. Weâre planning on a big day filled with new ideas and actualizing them. Weâll be making a difference in the deaf and hard of hearing community, and weâre planning on a carefully curated program of riveting speakers. <hr/> Cultural Mediation workshop by Austin Interpreters for the Deaf Fri May 21 12:30pm â 4:30pm Austin Community College â South Austin Campus, Multipurpose Rm 1130, 1820 W Stassney Ln, Austin TX 78745 Am I violating the Code of Ethics? Do these people understand each other? Many interpreters find themselves in situations where they are unsure whether their behavior is an ethical conflict, or cultural mediation. In this seminar we will discuss the definition of cultural mediation and the role of the interpreter as the cultural mediator. We will look at the pros and cons of the dual role, and the appropriate way to provide cultural information without violating our code of ethics. We will discuss common situations that arise in our field and determine appropriate ways to address cultural concerns in those settings. Finally, we will review the Code of Ethics and open a discussion in which interpreters have a safe environment to ask questions to their colleagues on "what would you do?"

Do these people understand each other? Many interpreters find themselves in situations where they are unsure whether their behavior is an ethical conflict, or cultural mediation. In this seminar we will discuss the definition of cultural mediation and the role of the interpreter as the cultural mediator. We will look at the pros and cons of the dual role, and the appropriate way to provide cultural information without violating our code of ethics. We will discuss common situations that arise in our field and determine appropriate ways to address cultural concerns in those settings.

As a special bonus for blind and visually-challenged patrons, The VORTEX and VSA Arts of Texas are providing a unique theatrical opportunity. This auditory delight is enhanced by audio description, provided by a live Audio Describer through the subtle technology of an earbud. VORTEX Repertory Company proudly presents Sleeping Beauty, a magical musical faery tale by Bonnie Cullum and Content Love Knowles. This dynamic production joins the musical theatre canon with a feminist, revisionist, re-telling of this well-beloved faery tale. This production is accessible for all ages. With its first-ever NEA-funded production, the artists of VORTEX Repertory Company have created some of the most stunning design and spectacle in the 22-year history of this cutting-edge company. From the larger-than-life costumes for the 13 Faeries and the Royal Court to the huge revolving spiral tower and the fantastical lighting, the magic of the mythic kingdom of Avalia comes to life in song and spectacle. Cullum and Knowles first created Sleeping Beauty in 2005, in a heart-felt version that played to packed houses, adoring fans, and young princesses. Now, they have re-worked and revised the original with some entirely new songs, revised text and music, a contemporary design, a new seating arrangement, and all-new stellar cast. Donât miss the VORTEX performance event of the year. <hr/> Deafness Resource Specialist available Tue Apr 13 1pm - 4pm (Monthly at 1pm on the second Tuesday) TCSDHH, 2201 Post Rd #100, Austin TX 78704 Brian Determan, Deafness Resource Specialist is available to help Deaf, hard-of-hearing, and late deafened individuals.

(See link above.) For simplicity and reduced work, I'm going to copy those entries for this newsletter summary. The format is a little different from before. Please let me know if you see any problems.
