Excerpt from "Lost in Interpretation" by Ellen Rolfes:
Sign language interpreters catch a speaker's words, translate their meaning and reformulate their message into sign — all within seconds. It's part performance, part science, and part cognitive gymnastics. But what happens when things go wrong?
Barbie Parker is a rock star sign language interpreter. When a guitarist starts a riff, Parker plays air guitar. When the drummer starts pounding, she claps to the beat. Her body moves to the rhythm of the songs as she signs lyrics with the same attitude as the musicians, from Bob Dylan to Lady Gaga.
When Parker’s audience — those who are deaf and hard of hearing — see her interpretations for the first time, they often say “Now I understand why people like music.” As an interpreter, Parker gives the deaf community an opportunity to appreciate an experience that for so long was only accessible to those who could hear.
