Jodee Mundy brings her story of being a child of deaf adults to the stage

From Nine To Noon, 10:05 am today

 Melbourne based interdisciplinary artist Jodee Mundy grew up interpreting and being a conduit of information as the only hearing person in her immediate family.

Her first language is Australian Sign Language, and she describes herself as hearing, but with a deaf heart.

She has turned her experiences of being a child of Deaf adults, or CODA, into a multimedia solo performance "Personal," that opens tonight at the Q Theatre as part of the Auckland Arts Festival.

Jodee Mundy joins Kathryn to talk about her life as a CODA and how she is bringing her performance to both a deaf and hearing audience.
