This article presents an overview of NGT performing arts in the Netherlands through the life and work of poet Wim Emmerik. Neder landse Gebarentaal (NGT) is the Dutch name for Sign Language of the Netherlands. Drawing from ethnographic research, performance samples, and interviews of performing artists, educators, and researchers, this article identifies a wide variety of performing arts forms. Findings synthesize historical changes, national and international influences, key genres, performance features, performers’ motivations, challenges, and the fortitude of noted performers. Results suggest the importance of the state-of-the-art knowledge shared by members of the Deaf community, Deaf performers, and researchers. Focus on the life and work of Wim Emmerik, a great sign language poet, provides a prime example of the sign language literature, performing arts pioneers, challenges, evolution, literary features, and international influences of the performing arts in the Netherlands and abroad. Life lessons and descriptors are instructive for second-language users in higher education (teachers and interpreters), for parents of young Deaf children, and for Deaf children in public schools who gain access to sign language later in life, as well as for first-language users who wish to appreciate the complex literary levels of their language and the literary figures who create them.

通过诗人 Wim Emmerik 的作品介绍荷兰的 NGT 表演艺术

本文通过诗人维姆·埃默里克 (Wim Emmerik) 的生平和作品，概述了荷兰的 NGT 表演艺术。Nederlandse Gebarentaal (NGT) 是荷兰手语的荷兰语名称。本文利用人种学研究、表演样本以及对表演艺术家、教育工作者和研究人员的采访，确定了各种各样的表演艺术形式。调查结果综合了历史变迁、国家和国际影响、关键流派、表演特点、表演者的动机、挑战和著名表演者的毅力。结果表明聋人社区成员、聋人表演者和研究人员共享的最先进知识的重要性。专注于伟大的手语诗人 Wim Emmerik 的生活和工作，提供了手语文学的一个典型例子，表演艺术的先驱、挑战、演变、文学特征以及荷兰和国外表演艺术的国际影响。生活课程和描述对高等教育中的第二语言使用者（教师和口译员）、聋童的父母、公立学校的聋童在以后的生活中获得手语以及第一次接触手语具有指导意义。希望欣赏其语言的复杂文学层次和创造它们的文学人物的语言使用者。
