Use of Sign Language

We've decided to use sign language in our piece because it is another way of communicating but for those who have hearing impairments. It's a language you have to learn though, and if sign language is the only language you know, it can be frustrating to talk to someone who doesn't know how to sign because they don't understand you.

We use it after the physical part. We are split into two sides and are still, facing the walls. Just Rachel and Katie are in the middle talking to each other in sign language at first: Katie is saying "tell me how you feel" and Rachel is saying " I don't know anyone" then they start signing to the audience. Then one by one, we come in and start signing the same thing as Rachel or Katie, depending on which side you came from. We keep repeating ourselves and become more frustrated because nobody can understand us, and the audience would surely become unsure of what to do here.
