Deaf and blind people tell stories
Weeks ago, we told you about the "Living and Narrating" project, in which, at the request of Comfandi, MEYproducciones would teach storytelling to deaf and blind creators. The lessons learned would be reflected in 3-minute short films and oral narratives, respectively. The objectives were fully met, and starting this week, at the beginning of October, the projects can be viewed on a website created specifically for this purpose.

The project was driven by the desire to transform storytellers into storytellers themselves. It allowed us to explore how blind and deaf people understand and interpret the world. To achieve this, MEYproducciones implemented its proven production and directing methodology, already tested in other similar courses. Thanks to this approach, students were able to move from imagined stories to finished works. Because we believe it is essential to make the material accessible to all audiences, we have taken great care in designing a website that is easy to read for blind, deaf, and non-blind internet users alike.

On the website, you'll find interesting interviews with some of the storytellers, as well as a film course featuring an expert sign language interpreter translating everything the instructors say. While showcasing the short films and oral narratives is the primary goal, we've also made a point of showing the classes and promoting the course to illustrate the importance of these kinds of educational experiences. Therefore, we invite you to approach this site with an open mind and enjoy this creative adventure. Perhaps you'll even be inspired to become a spontaneous storyteller yourselves, capable of teaching us something about the corner of the world you inhabit. As a preview, you can watch an interview one of the storytellers gave to our team. Don't forget: www.vivirynarrar.wordpress.com Don't miss our Recommended 3
