Performance art work, with sign interpretation for the deaf and hearing-impaired by members of Hands On: Beth Prevor (project coordinator), Janis Cole (interpreter director), and Candace Brecker (interpreter). David White, director of Dance Theater Workshop, introduces the program and talks about the work of Hands On at the beginning of cassette 1, a recording of the performance. Disc 2 (no audio) contains the sign interpretation of the text by Candace Brecker, as it was shown simultaneously with the performance on two monitors on either side of the stage. The question-and-answer period mentioned in White's introduction does not appear on these recordings.
