About The Spectrum American 
Deaf Dance Company 

The first major cultural achievement of Spectrum, Focus on Deaf Artists is the creation of the American Deaf Dance Company. The only one of its kind 
i.n the United States, the company was begun in November of 1976 when Yacov Sharir traveled from Tel Aviv, Israel to Austin, Texas to serve as. the artistic director. 
Soon after arriving, Sharir made trips to other 
areas of the United States where he interviewed in
terested dancers. Company members come from all 
parts of the country. 
The American Deaf Dance Company's premiere performance took place in Austin on August 6, 1977 at Hogg Auditorium on the University of Texas 
campus. The press was enthusiastic and reviews appeared in all the area papers. Invitations to appear in other cities began to arrive shortly afterward. On November 9, the company gave a repeat performance at U. T. 's B. Iden Payne Theater. On March 31, 1978, the company gave a joint performance with the Dallas Ballet. All three productions were 
cosponsored by the University of Texas Drama Department. 
A tour of the American Deaf Dance Company will begin in late summer and continue through fall. The tour will include cities in California and New York as well as Texas.
