ABOUT THE
SIGNWRITING SYMPOSIUM

Welcome to the SignWriting Symposium!

The SignWriting Symposium features presentations about SignWriting in 4 categories: Education, Literature, Software and Research, presented by teachers, researchers, software developers and signers from across the globe.

Presentations are streamed live online on Google Hangouts and YouTube. Each presentation is archived on the web with its own Presentation Web Page, including abstracts, papers, videos, slides, bios and photos, and also published in a SignWriting Symposium Proceedings book.

The SignWriting Symposium was first presented in Brussels, Belgium in 2005. Starting in 2014, the Symposium became an online event, and is broadcast live online, usually in July. See 2014 and 2015 and 2016.

Sutton Movement Writing & Shorthand is a way to read & write all body movement. It is a script with 5 parts: DanceWriting, SignWriting, MimeWriting, SportsWriting & MovementWriting. DanceWriting was invented by Valerie Sutton in 1972 followed by SignWriting in Denmark in 1974. The SignWriter Newspaper written in American Sign Language (ASL) was published 1981-1984. The SignWriter Computer Program, a sign language processor for typing SignWriting, began in 1986 by Richard Gleaves. The Deaf Action Committee for SignWriting (DAC), a team of Deaf ASL signers, was founded by Lucinda O'Grady in 1988. The DAC influenced the development of SignWriting, now used to write over 40 sign languages around the world.
