      The Wales Gene Park/Cardiff University
      
      The aim of the workshop will be to bring together d/Deaf and hard of hearing people with health professionals who have clinical and academic experience in the deafness and genetics field.
      
      Genetic Counselling offers information to families about the chances of passing on different genetic conditions\, most consultations are requested to discuss a family history of cancer.
      
      It is known that deaf and hard of hearing adults rarely access genetic counselling services. Why is this?
      
      The workshop will be used as a venue to foster a discussion about how to develop genetic counselling services for deaf people and their families.
      
      The day will be structured around a number of light presentations and also fun role-plays by the research team. Video-clips of deaf people giving their views will be shared. The audience will be given hand-held computer terminals (as seen on ‘Who Wants to be a Millionaire’ TV show) so that votes can be taken from the audience on a number of issues raised by the research.

SUMMARY:CAPTIONED PERFORMANCE OF A Disappearing Number
DESCRIPTION: [Full details at http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/863073/ ] Complicite's A Disappearing Number
      Captioned by STAGETEXT
      
      Following its triumph during bite07\, multi award-winning hit A Disappearing Number\, returns by popular demand.
      
      Taking as its starting point one of the most mysterious and romantic collaborations of all time\, this is a story about connections between ideas\, cultures and times. In London a man attempts to unravel the secrets of his lover. In Bangalore a woman collapses on a train. In Cambridge in 1914 Englishman GH Hardy seeks to comprehend the ideas of the Indian prodigy Srinivasa Ramanujan. A Disappearing Number weaves a provocative theatrical pattern about our relentless compulsion to understand.
