For my field trip, I went to see Trix Bruce preform on October 24th. She came to the International House for Disability Week. Trix is a deaf performer who tells her story through signing and dramatic art. It was really wonderful! She communicated about how she became deaf: she caught meningitis when she was six months old. Then, she just let us into her life. She showed us her frustrations growing up in a world full of people who can hear when she can't. She had written incredible poetry and beautifully signed about her life. I don't know sign language so thankfully they had a translator there also. Anyways, it was really interesting and eye opening. It really made me want to learn sign language!
