ASL Slam
7 p.m., Saturday March 28, Hamburger Mary’s Denver, 700 E. 17th Ave., Denver, 303-832-1333.
American Sign Language is an expressive language that doesn’t use volume or tone to make a point, but uses expression and movement instead. While most poetry is associated with spoken word, ASL Slam is working to expand those limits and provide a platform for literary and performing artists in the deaf community. Instead of a treat for the ears, you’ll get a powerfully visual performance filled with story and emotion. All the poems will be in sign language, with voice interpreters for the hearing folks. Experience poetry in a whole different way and see the world through someone else’s hands. Tickets available at ASLSlam.com
