Sound Symphony Team
The show was created by Ellie, who is the Artistic Director of Oily Cart, who specialises in making sensory shows for and with D/deaf, disabled and Autistic young people of all ages. Greg is our Musical Director. He composed the music, with musicians Song and Shiori, and plays the cello in the show (as well as pulling off a rather spangly pair of gold leggings!).
The show was a real labour of love and took 4 years to make. It was inspired by the research of Dr Joe Wright into how Autistic young people relate to music and sound. Many of the ideas in the show came from the musicians collaborating with Autistic young people who were pupils at St Crispin’s school (Edinburgh) and St Andrews School (Aberdeenshire). We would like to thank all the pupils and teachers for their contribution, we couldn’t have done it without them.
