Project History

The team, made up of a phenomenal group of hearing and D/deaf & hard-of-hearing creatives, completed an Arts Council-funded R&D and two preview performances of Different Owners at Sunrise to interrogate the text, explore how to integrate BSL and wider access into the piece, and develop the movement and design elements. Due to a Covid-19 related postponement, this was completed in August and October 2021 at the Roundhouse.
