Jo Sargeant of Hot Coals Productions talks to Harri Marshall and Alison Pottinger
Interpreted by: Anna Kitson, Caroline Ryan and Iain Hodgetts, speech to text reporter: Norma MacHaye
Harri is a deaf director based in York and has been working in this dirty business that we call show since 2012. She has received training from the Young Vic, RTYDS as well as the Bristol Old Vic and directed a total of 9 shows. Harri has an affinity for contemporary theatre including genres like new writing, adaptation and verbatim. She advocate for D/deaf and disabled creatives and is a self-proclaimed proactive busy body!
Alison currently work as both a stage manager and BSL/English Interpreter. In addition she teaches at Rose Bruford College. She has joined the collective because she believes that off stage roles are not widely known about, especially among d/Deaf and ethnic minority communities. She has enjoyed a 30 year career off stage and she would like to see others enjoying a similarly rewarding and creative career. Technical Theatre BSL is for d/Deaf people and others working with them – interpreters, directors, stage managers etc. The aim is to promote off stage careers to d/Deaf people and to provide a resource for access to training.
