San Antonio College will host "An Evening of Dance with Bertram Weston" Saturday, Sept. 11 at 6 p.m. in the Fiesta Room of the Loftin Student Center. He will also appear at 2 p.m. that day at Borders Books and Music at the Quarry (225 Basse Rd.) for the monthly American Sign Language Storytelling, with a voice interpreter present.

"Bertram Weston is a strong, proud Deaf American whose first language is American Sign Language," said Sara Filippone, Lab Technician for the Interpreter Training Program. She added, "He performs using music, dance, and sign language. This is a very powerful performance."

Weston states on his website at http://www.bertramweston.com/index.html, "My goal is to be an influence to break down society's barriers to remove the stigmas and open the minds of individuals to open the world to all people . . . What I express in my performances inspires children of all ages to believe in themselves and aspire to achieve all that they can!"

He is a graduate of Gallaudet University, where he performed with the Gallaudet Dance Company and the Wild Zappers Troupe.

Tickets for the 6 p.m. evening performance (available at the door or at the Nail Technical Center, room 005A) are $3 for children and $5 for ages 10 and older. For more information, call David or Sara at 733-2056 through TX relay 711.
