PERSONAL
JODEE MUNDY COLLABORATIONS + QUIET RIOT
SUN 26 OCT | DANCEEAST
Jodee Mundy first discovered that all her family was Deaf when she got lost in a department store.
She didn’t see ‘disability’, only the love and protection of those closest to her.
Presented in Australian Sign Language, English and creative captions, Personal conveys Jodee’s experience as a CODA (child of Deaf adults) through this captivating blend of performance, multimedia and animation.
This smart, touching and intimate performance explores the joys and contradictions of inhabiting two worlds: living in a Deaf family, where using sign language is natural; and living in a society that sees only the family’s disability.
You can also attend Jodee’s Mother Father Deaf workshop for Deaf and CODA family groups, and a special screening of two films created by Jodee, Imagined Touch + Camp CODA.
“Jodee Mundy’s Personal is a winning and inclusive tonic, consistently hilarious and informative.”
— Time Out
“Wholly inviting and generous.”
