CCRID is bringing David Evans to Fresno to present The Eyes Have It: Eye Gaze and Blinks. (For a pdf copy of flyer, click on title of workshop)
9am-4:30pm; California State University, Fresno. Conley Arts Building, Room CA 101 Cost: $55/member, $75/non-member

When signing, where should you be gazing? Do you look at the other person constantly, or is it okay to look away? How do you know when a signer is providing information or narration vs. a characterization? Absent a signed referent and obvious body shift, how can you tell when one characterization ends and another begins? Answers to all of these questions (and more) can be found in the often-overlooked topic of eye gaze and eye blinks.
This workshop will provide a look at different types of gaze and blink behaviors in American Sign Language. Eye gaze and blinks will be demonstrated with video examples, categorized, and defined with the latest research available. Video demonstrations of Deaf signers using eye behaviors in context will be shown to reinforce the presented materials. Regardless of your level of fluency in ASL, this workshop can dramatically impact your work. You’ll never look at the eyes in the same way again!

Registration at the Door begins at 8:30AM. See you there!
