Artiste sourd profond, son moyen d’expression artistique est la langue des signes. Il sera accompagné, avec une musique composée spécifiquement pour ses poèmes. Douglas est propriétaire, directeur exécutif et animateur d'ASL SLAM, un événement mensuel de micro ouvert à NYC. Cet espace permet à la communauté Sourde de s'exprimer de manière créative avec la ASL (langue des signes américaine), à travers des performances poétiques, des slams, des improvisations, des jeux et des contes... Il défiera le public entendant à transcender les limites de leur imagination, pour leur donner une autre vision du rythme, de l'émotion et de la musique. Musiciens : Mattias Klopfenstein, Sarah Nvendo Ferrier et Alec Khatchatourov He is a fearless artist, a poet, a performer, the owner and executive director of ASL SLAM. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

It's spoken word without spoken words—ASL SLAM is an open space for poets to perform their work in American Sign Language (ASL). As ASL SLAM's executive director Douglas Ridloff explains, ASL poetry doesn't rely on rhyming patterns or meter within auditory or written wordplay; rather, the art is "more about the movement, a visual rhyme versus an audio rhyme." Its performance is a stunning and emotionally potent artistry that connects with all audiences. SUBSCRIBE: https://goo.gl/vR6Acb This story is a part of our Human Condition series.
