New international campaign - Captioning

This month an international media campaign has been launched to raise awareness of captioning in theatres and elsewhere. A new film produced by Collaborative for Communication Access via Captioning (CCAC) in the US has been launched as part of the international media campaign to increase the availability of captions and subtitles in all walks of life.

Captions and subtitles help many access media. Deaf, deafened and hard of hearing people from the US, Australia, Pakistan, Belgium, Russia and the UK explain why captions are so important to them in everyday life.
 
Watch the short film.

Well done to the Royal Court Theatre who have extended their deaf awareness to include captioned and signed video clips about their theatre and forthcoming performances:

Jerwood Theatre Upstairs from May - June 2012
Jerwood Theatre Downstairs May - Aug 2012

Early this year Jacob Casselden starred as Billy in TRIBES at the Royal Court Theatre.
