Welcome to the Bringing the Stage to Life - NASHVILLE Conference! This event is completely unique and cannot be compared to any short or long term performance interpreting conference. BSL Nashville focuses on preparing attendees to use performance interpreting skills for professional and local events. Because BSL Nashville is located here in Music City U.S.A. we have a unique opportunity to access a wide variety of musical styles and settings ranging from dinner theatres, to national shows, to local Honky Tonks, one time big named concerts, to the famous Grand Ole Opry stage.

“I think deafness is a disability,” a girl named CiCi says.  “To me it’s not a disability at all,” says a girl named Isabella.  Both CiCi and Isabella are deaf themselves.  But they deal with it in very different ways.

“I love music,” CiCi says.  “And I hear it through my cochlear implant and my hearing aid.” (“Cochlear” is pronounced “CO-clee-ur.”) “I am okay with never hearing anything,” Isabella says. 

Event

This training will focus on using service animals in business settings (restaurants, hotels, medical offices, etc.). Learn about state and federal laws that apply to using a service animal, your rights, and resources to help educate the community. 

Join us live in Nashville and via video feed in Knoxville or Memphis at the Disability Law & Advocacy Center of Tennessee (DLAC) offices. Provided by DLAC and the Tennessee Disability Coalition.
