About
The Devil’s Playground is Art Space. It’s a culture laboratory. A breeding ground for ideas. Idea’s that can be expressed textually, visually and aurally.
If you read, All The Young Dudes, then you will know that the I, author of that, and this blog, am Deaf. I have set up this blog to write and talk about all things pertaining to the arts.
Specifically, writing, producing, directing, music, theatre, literature, and the visual
arts.
The intention behind this blog is to focus on the arts, and not be sidetracked by the usual deaf vs hearing politicking, or be dragged down by the cliched oral vs signing debates. I want to talk about writing, producing, directing, music, theatre, literature, photography and painting; and not just from a Deaf point of view [that is a given].
You will hear my voice as a writer and artist. You won’t find me using the word Deaf ad nauseum in this blog, my deafness is a given, and needs no further explanation or emphasis.
It may confuse you to hear a Deaf person speak of some of the things that I will write about, but that would be up to you, dear reader to seek clarification. But hopefully, the journey will be a pleasant, educational and enjoyable one.
