<html><body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><div>My advice.. Go slowly .... That's slower than you think. Hear the translation... As the end of your sentence not your own words. Or see it in the case of signing and notice the reaction. That's your feedback. The more things being translated the more of the system there is to take in more channels. What's great about this is it demands a clarity around communicating things clearly and simply however I have also found freedom in the poetry of this. Being comfortable with chaos was definately helpful as things were respoken and translated into sign in a kind of vibrant dance. Trust them to self organise it and be happy to ask them to stop you if they haven't got anything. </div><div><br></div><div>In Tel Aviv each deaf person and each Deaf/blind person had their own signer Some with different types of sign language Russian/Hebrew and Brail tapping. With signing I had to be prepared to lie down fast whilst in the centre of the circle so signers could be seen across the circle and also describe what I was doing for those without sight. I also talked about feeling the energy of the people in the room as they couldn't see each other. One nice thing was holding hands and sending a pulse around the circle by hand squeezing as a message of thanks from my heart to them all!</div><div><br></div><div>Quite an event.</div><div><br></div><div>Phelim </div><div><br></div><div> </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Sent from my iPhone</div><div><br>On 3 Jun 2010, at 15:19, andrew paine <<a href="mailto:painefulbusiness@yahoo.co.uk">painefulbusiness@yahoo.co.uk</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><div></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tbody><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;"><div>Hi Phelim</div>

<div>Sounds like an amazing event.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'd love to know more about how you managed to simultaneously translate two different languages and four different types of signing.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I've been asked to run an OS as part of an all week conference and there will be 40 countries representing.</div>

<div>Any insights or reflections on how you did it would be greatly appreciated.</div>

<div class="plainMail">Dear all,<br><br>Matilda and I have just finished a three day open space in Tel Aviv with the company NaLagaat. They are an amazing group who have a theatre show performed by actors who are deaf and deaf/blind. They also have a cafe where all the waiters are deaf and you learn sign to get your order and a restaurant called Blackout where you eat in total darkness looked after by blind waiters and waitresses.<br><br>The three day OS was an amazing experience silmultaneously translated in two different spoken languages and four different types of signing! Lots of positive moments and new connections made from the meaningful conversations had in this amazing organisation.<br><br>Quite an amazing open space that was very hopeful and moving at this difficult time of conflict in Israel.<br><br>We also met the Wonderful Tova for the first time. Thanks for all your love and support.<br><br><br>I have lots of thoughts and things to
communicate to the list but have been very busy here will send them soon.<br><br>Love<br><br>Phelim & Matilda<br><br>Sent from my iPhone<br><br>*<br>*<br>==========================================================<br><a href="http://uk.mc233.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=OSLIST@LISTSERV.BOISESTATE.EDU" ymailto="mailto:OSLIST@LISTSERV.BOISESTATE.EDU"><a href="mailto:OSLIST@LISTSERV.BOISESTATE.EDU">OSLIST@LISTSERV.BOISESTATE.EDU</a></a><br>------------------------------<br>To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options,<br>view the archives of <a href="http://uk.mc233.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=oslist@listserv.boisestate.edu" ymailto="mailto:oslist@listserv.boisestate.edu"><a href="mailto:oslist@listserv.boisestate.edu">oslist@listserv.boisestate.edu</a></a>:<br><a href="http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html" target="_blank"><a href="http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html">http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html</a></a><br><br>To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs:<br><a href="http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist" target="_blank"><a href="http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist">http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist</a></a><br></div></blockquote></td></tr></tbody></table><br>
