The video titled "Vibrations" explores the unique world of a visual performing arts group from the Indiana School for the Deaf, hosted by Professional Development Coordinator Debbie Fetzer. The troupe, named Vibrations, incorporates American Sign Language (ASL) and Deaf culture in conjunction with music, demonstrating that Deaf individuals can indeed perform and entertain. Key concepts include Deaf education, ASL, Deaf culture, and the performing arts. The video highlights how profoundly deaf students experience music by feeling vibrations, counting beats, and memorizing dance steps, making it a valuable resource for understanding abilities beyond hearing. It emphasizes acceptance and inclusion by bridging communication gaps between Deaf and hearing cultures, showcasing talents that defy typical expectations about the Deaf community. This content is particularly relevant to educational contexts focused on inclusivity and diversity.

    We viewed this as a Deaf Awareness Week activity. My students were very interested in these young deaf actors/dancers, watching them sign about their feelings and experiences with hearing people.
