	Dislabelled - it aint over til the deaf girls sing! Photo by Mark Lapwood Developed and performed by Caroline Conlon and Sofya Gollan Director: Tony Strachan Featuring: Blair Greenberg and his music Designer: Glendon Fletcher Lighting Designer: Bruce McKendry Auslan Consultant: Alex Jones 16-21 October 2000 Seymour Centre Theyre loud, they tell dirty jokes, they kick up their heels and sign about love....Dislabelled presented two deaf, bilingual babes out to have fun. Set in a relaxed cabaret style, Dislabelled tapped into the credo make people laugh first, and think second. The two Deaf divas presented a host of popular songs through sign singing and swapped personal triumphs and the battles in trying to win the men. They even taught the hearing members of the audience to sign swear words and then mocked these hearing people have such cute accents when the sign. What the press said .... "Dislabelled is a show that makes hearing audience feel they are deaf-impaired rather than the other way around. ...The sign singing is the highlight -a kind of drag act in which the performers take over something from another culture (music, in this case) and make it their own. They even sign ABBA.... Deaf chicks obviously have a lot of fun." The Australian , 20 Oct 2000 "Conlon and Gollan are deaf and bilingual, they tell lewd jokes, dance and sing while signing the words. Only occasionally do they miss a beat...and they know how to draw an audience in, quiet literally when they turn the tables on those with good hearing. Dislabelled makes clear where these talented performers belong." Sydney Morning Herald, 18 Oct 2000
