National Technical Institute for the Deaf QuestFest College Festival Performance
NTID Performing Arts was established in the Fall of 1974, with the opening of the Institute's new performing arts facility. Originally named the Experimental Educational Theatre, NTID Performing Arts offers a comprehensive curriculum of theatre courses and produces six productions and one outreach tour each season. Even with no academic major in theatre, historically the majority of Deaf theatre professionals nationwide have been NTID students or faculty and have appeared in commercials, network and cable television programs, major motion pictures and independent films, national and international theatre tours, Broadway, regional theatres, and international theatre festivals.

A mesmerizing blend of dance, visual theatre, and video animation featuring the RIT/NTID Dance Company in conjunction with performing and video artists live on stage. Through dance, music, sign language, and animation, Handamation is the exploration of the power of images through movement. Handamation communicates beyond words, exploring areas of our lives; enlightenment, alienation, enrichment, persuasion, propaganda, and joy. Through the process of visual communication we can see how the power of movement can convey far more than mere words. Created by Thomas Warfield, Aaron Kelstone, Duane Palyka, and Luane Haggerty.
