Hi all,

My name is Ben Papworth. I work in Musical Theatre as a Musical Director and Pianist. Currently have a lot of free time, as I’m sure we all do in the current climate, so I decided to learn a new skill and I enjoy languages (already proficient at Spanish), therefore BSL seemed like a great option to broaden my language knowledge and become more accessible in my industry.

I live in Central London and have done for just under 3 years working in my field. I’ve worked with the likes of Divina De Campo, Rachel Tucker, Hannah Waddingham, Duncan James and more. I’d love to be able to meet other people in my industry who use BSL as a form of communication and start to bring theatre and the Deaf/deaf community together more.

      Inclusivity

      By Joy Edwards · Posted

      I work in research and want to learn BSL to enable more inclusivity within this field. I work with many different communities and find that the deaf community is too often overlooked. I want to address this and hopefully learn a lot myself and maybe gain some new friends.

      Why are you learning BSL?

      By Khadijah · Posted

      Hello. I am learning sign language for my DofE award and am currently enjoying it. I am keen to learn it and personally think I am learning it quite well. There is  deaf community centre near me so after I have nailed BSL i intend on visiting and interpreting for my local park run as a volunteer

      Why are you learning BSL?

      By Devanshi · Posted

      I am learning BSL because I want to feel more connected to the Deaf community. Even though I am deaf and use a cochlear implant, I grew up using spoken language, so I never fully learned sign language. Over time, I started to feel left out in Deaf spaces where people communicate through BSL. Learning BSL feels important to me not just for communication, but for belonging. I want to be able to express myself freely, understand others and be part of conversations without barriers. It is also important for my work, as I support people with different needs, and I want to provide more inclusive and accessible support in the future.
