The choir director and her colleagues will demonstrate how an English lyric, often with many metaphors, is translated into actual American Sign Language. This is not “transliteration,” rather a complex process where the meaning of the lyrics are retained while selecting the appropriate visual structure in which to perform both the lyrics and the music. The result is a beautiful and artistic performing are.
