For anyone wanting to incorporate more body language/facial expression this is a must.  For me when translating a song to BSL sometimes the BSL just doesn’t meet the lyrics or the music which is why I wanted to do this workshop.  Absolutely wonderful session.

Ishtiaq shows how it is possible to embody the character of a person, animal, or thing.  He visually creates a story in a way that is totally captivating.

I will definitely be recommending the workshop to the London and SE ASLI group.

It was an evening well spent. I enjoyed it as much as going to the theatre! Quality course with ample opportunity given for us to experiment and participate.

Very many thanks Ish.

I really enjoyed the workshop, I learnt a lot, the teaching was clear, well explained and gave me acti9vities involving VV which was good. I realize I have to learn a lot. I do hope to join next level VV workshop! Look forward to the next one! Thank you

This workshop was amazing, Ish made everyone feel at ease and explained the visual concept in simple terms.  The time flew in and we covered so much in 2 hours but it did not feel crammed in, it was delivered at a great pace.

Very good job on explaining very clearly.  That's easy to understand with fab demonstrations and examples.

Fab performance at the end!

I couldn’t recommend Ish’s VV World workshop enough! Ish had me engaged for the entire 2 hours, the time really flew by! As a second language user of BSL this was a great session to learn about the linguistics that make up the elements of VV and to give it a go in a safe and comfortable environment. As well as understand the art and creative expression that is at the heart of VV performances. Ish provided us with a master class in VV, himself being so talented, I could watch his VV all day! Do not hesitate to get yourself booked onto a workshop.

I want to be become VV artist

The visual vernacular is a skill that interpreters should use more often- we just don’t always know how. This course expands one’s knowledge and skills in a safe space to try and try again. I left feeling two things- 1) I want to learn more about VV and B) I plan to use it more when interpreting.  Ish’s teaching skills are excellent. Each section/skill set explained in a fun but educational way- highly recommended.

A HUGE THANK YOU! I would love to do this workshop again and would happily play. It was a joy to be part of an intimate workshop and encourage Ish to deliver to more audiences. The learning is invaluable for BSL Interpreters, both TSLI and RSLI. As a TSLI myself, amongst RSLI colleagues, I felt very safe and positively encouraged by Ish.
