Festivals & Multi-Day Programmes
Stage Interpreting Ireland is a specialist provider of Irish Sign Language (ISL) interpreting for live performance and public events across the island of Ireland.
We focus exclusively on performance-led ISL access, supporting festivals, theatre, concerts, spoken-word events and public programmes where timing, visibility and cultural awareness are critical.
Our approach recognises that live performance environments place unique demands on interpreters, requiring stamina, precision, strong visual presence and close collaboration with production teams.
By working within the rhythm and structure of each event, we ensure ISL access is delivered in a way that is meaningful for Deaf audiences and fully integrated into the live experience.
