DEAF children on Teesside were learning to express themselves with the help of South Indian performers this week at Coulby Newham Secondary School.
The children, aged between six and 16, are taking part in workshops with the Kathakali performers, pictured, who use a 400-year-old sign language in their dance and drama routines. The visit was made possible by a grant from the Cleveland Community Foundation, which paid for the internationally renowned artists to travel from India.
