Silent Soul Studio invites you into the creative process of Coloured Skin, a Deaf-led film currently in development.

About Coloured Skin

Coloured Skin follows Scout, a bipolar chameleon navigating a rigid grayscale world where conformity reigns.

As a racialized Deaf person, Scout constantly shifts between identities while hiding emotions and adapting to expectations just to survive. But suppressing joy, grief, and anger comes at a cost. The pressure builds until even the smallest moment threatens to break everything open.

Blending mask performance, physical theatre, and visual storytelling, Coloured Skin explores what happens when identity refuses to stay contained.

Open Installation Viewing

Drop in throughout the day to explore the evolving world of Coloured Skin.

Masks, sketches, and visual fragments from the film’s development will be on display, offering a glimpse into the creative process behind the project.

Private Showing & Conversation

The evening gathering will feature a private showing of selected work-in-progress footage from Coloured Skin, followed by an informal conversation with the artists. This is also an opportunity to learn more about Silent Soul Studio, a Deaf-led creative initiative focused on building meaningful collaborations between Deaf artists and experienced industry professionals.

Earlier this month, Deaf artists participated in a Bouffon and physical theatre workshops in collaboration with Green Fools Society Theatre, exploring new performance tools that helped shape the development of Coloured Skin.

The March 28 gathering offers a first look at how this model can grow and how collaborations like this can create new opportunities for Deaf artists within the broader arts community.
