SING!-SIGN! AUSLAN INTERPRETATION ‘HOW TO GUIDE’ FOR COMMUNITY CHOIR CONCERTS: https://www.canberraqwire.org.au/dbpage.php?pg=view&dbase=uploads&id=101061
Canberra Qwire has produced this ‘How to Guide’ to assist community choirs incorporate Auslan interpretation into their concerts. This Guide was put together following our own experience of organising interpreters for a number of our concerts.

Auslan Stage Left assisted with content of the Guide and ACT Government funded the provision of interpreters at Qwire’s 30^th anniversary concert in 2023.

We hope that this step by step Guide will make it easier for community choirs to engage interpreters knowing what’s involved in the process. And that using interpreters at these concerts will make them more accessible to members of the Deaf community and their families.

The Out & Loud Choirs’ website showcases LGBTIQ+ choirs from across Australia and New Zealand and from Fiji and Timor Leste. You can find basic information about each choir including rehearsal times with links to their websites, their upcoming concerts as well as larger joint events and future LGBTIQ+ Choral Festivals both in our region and overseas. The Resources page has links to material choirs can share to improve our singing experience.

Australasian LGBTIQ+ Choral Festivals have had a proud history starting in 2001 in Sydney with ‘Camp Music’ followed by Melbourne hosting the first Out & Loud in 2007. Since then Out & Loud Choral Festivals have been held in Auckland twice (2010 & 2016), Hobart (2013) and most recently in Canberra in 2019.
