Unpack 'Giraffe Can't Dance' Auslan Workshop

In this Deaf-led workshop, we’ll go beyond simply signing the Giraffe Cant Dance book — you’ll get it all. Together, we’ll unpack the story from start to finish, exploring not just the signs, but also the meaning, context, and techniques that bring the book to life.

You’ll learn how to:

• Capture the emotions and atmosphere of Giraffe Cant Dance through clear signing and expressive storytelling.

• Use Non-Manual Features (NMFs) to enhance meaning and engage your audience.

• Match your signing style to the tone and pace of the story.

• Confidently retell  Giraffe Cant Dance and apply the same approach to other books.
  

Whether you’re a parent, teacher, interpreter, or Auslan learner, this workshop will give you the tools to make Giraffe Cant Dance — and any story — engaging, meaningful, and easy to follow.

If you’ve ever wanted to go beyond “just signing” a story, this is your chance to truly bring it to life.
