The Work We Do

Each year ATOD produces a dynamic program of shows and public activities. The core work includes:

School Shows and Workshops
ATOD produces education shows and workshops designed for the two main levels of schooling, primary and high school. The school shows are toured throughout all states of Australia and occasionally New Zealand.

Community Shows
ATOD produces an annual small stage touring show designed for the Deaf and hearing community. These shows provide a canvas for ATOD and the actors alike to experiment with new drama disciplines and themes. The performances are hosted in a variety of venues and locations, and therefore are light, low maintenance productions.

Mainstage Shows
Every year ATOD produces one major mainstage production. Dependant upon the play, these productions see an influx of staff, including actors and production staff. With more costly sets and cast, the mainstage show is based in one Sydney venue for 3 week season. The aim of the mainstage production is to provide further development opportunities for Deaf actors, expand the Companys audience and public profile.

Drama Camp
Australian Theatre of the Deaf runs an Annual Drama Camp in visual theatre and communication. This week long camp is designed to help both hearing and deaf actors develop and enhance their visual communication and human movement skills.

Interpreted Theatre
With little opportunity for many Deaf people to enjoy live theatre, Australian Theatre of the Deaf organises special interpreted performances of major theatre productions by other companies.
