AIMS - Allied Interpreter Mentorship & Support (in collaboration with FAB Auslan Entertainment Interpreter Service and Deaf Connect) is so excited to be bringing the amazing Tiffany Hill (@coolaidgrape) to Australia for two weekends of workshops in Sydney and Perth!
Many of you will be familiar with Tiffany’s Street Leverage articles broaching the subject of racial diversity in the ASL interpreting field. You may have also seen her incredibly free, ASL music translations on Instagram and YouTube. Now we’ve got the chance to learn from her in person (or online) right here in Australia!
For the first time in Australia, Tiffany will be leading two full days of hands-on workshops in both Sydney and Perth:
Perth - Saturday October 4- Sunday October 5 2025
Mosman Park School for Deaf Children, WA
Tiffany will be presenting 4 fabulous workshops including one on music translation.
Workshops:
Saturday morning 10am - 11am
Getting to Know Tiffany Hill - ASL Interpreting in D.C. & the Black Interpreter Experience
Hear about Tiffany’s experiences as a Black ASL Interpreter in Washington D.C. and learn her “Top Terp Tips,” covering topics from ethics to resilience and everything in between.
(Q&A hosted by Alana Wiekart + audience questions)
Saturday afternoon 11am - 4pm
(Lunch break from 1pm - 1:45pm)
Developing our IQ - Cultural Clashes in the Interpreting Sphere.
As Sign Language Interpreters, we daily face not only ethical decisions but also the challenge of navigating unfamiliar cultural borders. This workshop examines decision-making by unpacking cultural assumptions and their impact on interpreting, with discussion on diverse spaces, cultures, and code-switching. Participants will consider biases and apply new strategies to guide more ethical practices when handling cultural clashes. Through dialogue, they will explore how race and culture intersect in interpreting and develop a deeper understanding of cultural capital and its impact on the field.
Educational Objectives:
Identify lived experiences of cultural presumptions in interpreting
Distinguish professional vs. faulty decision-making steps
Apply new concepts to support ethical choices
Create action plans to reduce barriers and negative outcomes
Sunday full day - 10am - 4pm:
TRL: My GLOSS is Poppin' - Music Interpreting Workshop 🎶👩‍🎤🪩
An interactive discussion on creating tools to up your interpreting game. In this workshop, participants will analyse how English to Sign Language song translation better informs decision making when it comes to live interpreting. In the form of a Ted Talk, coupled with interactive group activities, participants will learn about the Presenter, as well as analyse cultural nuances and decision making in creating accurate and colloquially appropriate song translations.
Educational Objectives:
1. Participants will discuss the difference between translation and interpretation
2. Participants will analyze cultural meanings in the source and target language.3. Participants will create their own GLOSS
4. Participants will inspect the cultural impact of music interpretation.
Part 1 - The Interpreting Continuum - Foundational Tools to Enhance your Performance and Confidence
