WIRED DIFFERENTLY
This is about being normal. This is about being different. This is about making aeroplanes. This is about us.
A group of teenagers ask - What makes you different?
Created and performed by pupils at Ganton School Wired Differently investigates school, socialising and growing up with a learning disability through this site-specific celebration of diversity.
Wired Differently was performed as part of the Hull 2017 City of Culture Programme at Ganton School. The performance was live streamed, with screenings in Libraries across Hull.
