Robert Farmer (2004), Cambodia

Theatre director and performer Robert Farmer worked with the Australian Theatre of the Deaf for four years.  His highly successful Rob Roy Show, which utilises visual skits, signed songs, storytelling and jokes, has toured internationally.  Farmer’s residency was based with Cambodian Deaf Development in Phnom Penh, enabling him to implement a program of theatre workshops with deaf children across five provinces in Cambodia.  Workshops included developing skills in acting, creative writing, educational performances and the presentation of a show.  The show was presented during the International Day of the Deaf Persons Celebrations in 2004, using gestures, sign language and visual movement unique to Deaf Theatre.
