I will perform onstage for REEL Poetry Festival in Houston, Texas. I will participate in the ASL Slam (hosted by Douglas Ridloff) on April 5, and then perform in the main program with Heba Toulan on April 6. Visit website for more info!

My show "Cleopatra and Isis" is available for bookings. It's a mixture of American Sign Language, dancing, performing and ancient Egyptian prayers. It's a fun show that can run for 20-25 minutes. I would also love to do a workshop for your audience. 

Interested in bringing me to your city? Your organization, festival, or school may contact me through my website for more information.

I had such an amazing time performing at DEAF Nation in Portland, Oregon! I met and talked to many of you, and I enjoyed hearing about your lives and stories! I also got to stay in Portland for two more nights after the expo to explore and experience the beauty of Oregon. Such a beautiful state! Thanks again, Portland! I'll be back in Oregon again someday!

Sabina England dressed up as Queen Cleopatra VII Philopater, reincarnated as the goddess Isis. Headdress based upon depictions of Egyptian deities and pharaohs. The red circle represents the sun disk, and the snake is called uraeus, which is an ancient Egyptian symbol of power and protection that pharaohs always donned. 

Be sure to check out a few of my new ASL poetry reels on Instagram! You should totally like my page @Sabina_England and receive notifications for my forthcoming reels! I absolutely love, love, love making videos and sharing some beautiful poetry with you and put a big smile on your face!

More information will come soon. So, so, so happy and grateful for this incredible opportunity to perform around the country with DEAFOPIA Festival.
