Deaf Dancer Antoine Hunter Helps DropLabs

Deaf activist and choreographer Antoine Hunter helps DropLabs develop their first product for the dancer community.

Antoine Hunter, Advisory Board Member for DropLabs, talks about his experience with music, helping develop DropLabs' first product, EP 01 and refining DropLabs Technology™. Antoine is a Deaf activist, dancer, and choreographer. He runs the Urban Jazz Dance Company, as well as the Bay Area Deaf International Dance Festival. Some words from the interview with Antoine Hunter.

Is there an early memory you’d like to share about when you first discovered your passion for dancing?

The first time that I realized dance was the way to communicate with people, I was in high school. And I took dance class. One day my teacher said, "Hey, you all have to work together with a project and create a dance." Nobody wanted to dance with me. No one wanted to work with me. I told my teacher and she said, "Well, why don't you go ahead and create a solo?"

So, I got the music: Whitney Houston, "I Will Always Love You." I got on stage and the music was playing. She was singing. I was just rocking side to side, feeling cold and alone. I was moving all over the room. When the instrumental break hit, it felt like lightning was hitting my body. The fire, the water, the wind. Every element that's alive was shooting through my body. I didn't know what I was doing but I remember when the music stopped. I was catching my breath. All the students watching me, they didn't say anything but then everyone started applauding. My teacher asked everyone what I felt. They said it felt like he was cold and alone. I was like, "That's right!" I knew from then on, dance was the way to communicate.

From there on, I fell in love. I wanted to do Russian dance, Indian dance, hip-hop, everything. I wasn't thinking about my career; I was just thinking it was a way to express myself. Like each dance was like a different language I wanted to learn.

Redeafination - Deaf Dancer & Choreographer

Can't hear? Not a problem for this Deaf dancer and choreographer from Redeafination.

SINGAPORE -- Roseanne was born Deaf, and is by nature shy and reserved. But when she discovered her passion for hip-hop 9 years ago, everything changed.

As a member of Redeafination - a dance group for both the Deaf and Hearing, she has found a new way to express herself. Now her mission is to shed light on the misconceptions people have of the Deaf.

“I want to show how Deaf people can also enjoy music and have fun," she says.

Super Bowl LIII Deaf National Anthem Signer

This sign language performance was cut from the Super Bowl broadcast. It’s now been viewed online more than 1 million times.

ATLANTA, Georgia -- Super Bowl LIII - Mercedes-Benz Stadium: The rousing patriotic songs “The Star-Spangled Banner” and “America the Beautiful” performed before Sunday’s Super Bowl LIII in Atlanta, Georgia were cheered by the pumped-up crowd in the stadium and seen in homes around the world.

To activate this feature, press the "CC" button.

But what the television audience did not see was another performance happening right next to the singers on the field - D.C. resident Aarron Loggins doing a theatrical, and quickly viral, sign-language interpretation of the songs.

A video of his performance, posted by the National Association of the Deaf on Facebook, has been viewed more than 1 million times and shared by more than 23,000 people. Many of them gushed over Loggins, who is Deaf.

Loggins, 34 - a dancer, performer and graduate of Gallaudet University - was selected to do an American Sign Language performance of the two songs by the National Football League and the National Association of the Deaf. His performance included sweeping gestures and rhythmic swaying as Gladys Knight belted out “The Star-Spangled Banner” and the sister duo Chloe X Halle gave a soulful, harmonized rendition of “America the Beautiful.”

Some people on social media were not happy that Loggins’s act was cut out of prime time. He was shown for a flash at the end of “America the Beautiful.”

To activate this feature, press the "CC" button.

Loggins, who was named Mister Deaf International in 2014, said he was proud of how he performed.

He said that although he is Deaf, he was able to synchronize his performance with the singers by using an interpreter who gave him cues about whether the singers drew out certain words in the songs. He also said there was a rehearsal with the singers that helped him prepare.

“I rehearsed and came fully prepared to give my best rendition using all of my theatrical and emotional skills,” Loggins said in an email interview with The Washington Post.

He added: “I am grateful that my delivery has done honor to ASL and the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community.”

Loggins called the experience of performing at the Super Bowl “amazing," and said that he hopes that the Super Bowl sign-language performances next year will be seen more fully on television, not only in the stadium and on social media.

To activate this feature, press the "CC" button.

“The community has shown that they want to see ASL,” he said. “Hopefully, future broadcasts will show more of the ASL performance.”

CBS did not respond to several emails and a phone call requesting comment on the broadcast.

Loggins, who is originally from Illinois, said he is the only Deaf person in his family. He started to sign when he was 3 and said he learned to face adversity at an early age. When he was a child, he was told he would never be able to hold a job because he can’t hear. Now, in addition to being a performer, he is an advocate for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.

“I take all such negativity and work hard to change it into positivity by proving myself and proving those naysayers wrong,” he said. “My motto is ‘Believe in yourself,’ which I have used as a mantra in my activism with Deaf and Hard of Hearing children to encourage them to have ambitious goals and strive for them.”

Deaf Drag Queen Dazzles DeafNation World Expo

Deaf drag queen dazzles the audiences of DeafNation World Expo in the sin city of Las Vegas.

LAS VEGAS, NV -- KTNV Channel 13: When you come to Las Vegas, when you dance on the Strip, the music is almost all you hear.

One performer takes to the stage in high heels and a tiara hearing absolutely nothing. Jolene is a drag queen who lives in Las Vegas. She is also fully Deaf. She may not speak, but she is not quiet.

"A lot of people can't believe that a Deaf person can do it," said Jolene, through an American Sign Language interpreter.

She's been doing drag for three years and has never met another Deaf drag queen. This may not be the job that pays the bills, but she loves signing songs and apparently crowds love it too.

"Oh yeah, people are really surprised, people are really shocked. People announce that I'm Deaf and it shows; people clap like this they say yay!" said Jolene.

When she's performing, she follows a screen and feels the vibrations of the music with the help of a hearing aid.

Even though she's one of many performers in Las Vegas for the Deaf Nation World Expo she stands out, and a few inches taller, than the rest.

You can catch one of her weekend shows at Charlie's Las Vegas on Arville Street.

A Short Film About A Deaf Dancer

Chris Fonseca: "Dance is not an option, It's who I am" - A short film about a Deaf dancer.

LONDON, United Kingdom -- In collaboration with Smirnoff as part of their ‘We’re Open’ campaign, UK producer Donae’o recently teamed up with Deaf dancer Chris Fonseca and dance crew Plague for the video for his track ‘Mami No Like’, which drops next week.

As a precursor to that, it’s worth watching this short film about Chris’ processes as a Deaf dancer, as well as some of the issues he’s had to overcome to get to where he is today.

Chris’s aim is to teach members of the Deaf community that there are ways to enjoy music beyond just hearing it. As well as featuring in this video, he has teamed up with Smirnoff to host a Deaf dance workshop every last Friday of the month at Huskies dance studios.

Check out the official music video for Donae'o - 'Mami No Like'

Deaf Dancer: Oh Wonder - Lose It

Deaf Dancer: Oh Wonder, Lose It - The Shaheem’s Story.

Feeling the power of music is just as important as hearing it. What moved you most about Shaheem’s story? Shaheem Sanchez lost his hearing at the age of four. He taught himself to dance by feeling the vibrations of the music. Vibrations from noise in the outside world confuse his perception of the music. This is his process to show that Deaf people can do anything, because anything is possible.

"Deaf Dancer": Behind The Scenes With Shaheem Sanchez.

Who is Shaheem? Following in his father’s footsteps, Shaheem Sanchez, aka DeafDancerShaheem, started dancing at age 11, despite losing his hearing at age four. Though his father passed before he was born, his family told him stories about his father’s dance skills and he thought, why not give dance a shot? Dance has become a very important part of his life.

He loves to feel the music, go with the flow, and feel the peace that comes from dance. By feeling the beat and reading the body language of his collaborators, Shaheem is able to connect to the music and express himself. It is important to him to show that Deaf people can do anything, because anything is possible. Fun Fact: Shaheem passed down his love of dance to his little brother Kida The Great.

Deaf Taiwanese Dancer Proves Naysayers Wrong

Deaf Taiwanese dancer Lin Ching Lan proves naysayers wrong - SK-II #changedestiny stories.

TAIPEI -- Lin Ching Lan is founder of Taiwan’s first troupe for Deaf dancers. Her story is beautiful. She was born with a hearing impairment, but she has not let that control her life. Her goal was to be a dancer…she just wanted to dance!

Schools and Teachers told her she would never dance because she couldn’t hear the music but…she can feel the music. We can use her as an example for when people tell us we can't do something…you can prove them wrong, if you work at it!

In the 1970s, SK2 scientists began a fervent quest to uncover a skincare ingredient that would make beautiful skin a reality for every woman.

Across land and sea, they sought for the answer. Despite researching a myriad of possibilities, the secret they were looking for long eluded them.

It was only by happenstance that the scientists eventually found themselves in a simple sake brewery where they chanced upon the soft and youthful hands of aged sake brewers. The breath-taking sight was the inspiration of the skincare miracle they would eventually uncover – a destiny of beauty was finally within reach. Source

One of the judges says "the most inspiration and emotional performances ever on television."

Factoid about feel/hear the musical vibrations - Scans show that Deaf people ‘hear’ vibrations in the part of the brain where sounds are processed. The world of music is not closed if you suffer hearing loss. Many Deaf people still attend concerts and even become performers. How can this be? Researchers at the University of Washington have uncovered an important clue... Read more: Deaf People Can ‘Hear’ Music.

Deaf Mom Dances With Hearing Son Goes Viral

Interview with Deaf mom and hearing son connect through their language of dance.

Mark Villaver has danced behind some impressive celebrities like Usher Terry Raymond. But he's never looked better on the dance floor than in this video, where he and his mom throw down some super smooth moves to Usher. Mark's mom is Deaf, but judging by her flow, she has no problem finding her groove.

In the introduction to the video, uploaded to YouTube in mid-October, Mark asks his mom in sign language if she'd like to dance. She signs back, visibly excited, "Yeah!" prompting a dance routine which will absolutely knock your socks off.

Mark Villaver doesn't sign but he and his Deaf mom, Emilia, can always connect through dance. Deaf and Hearing Network sat down with Mark in California and his mom in Hawaii to discuss their love of dance and why they went viral.
