Staging Change gang back in Bradford
It's great to have this year's six Staging Change students back at Mind the Gap Studios. The gang had their first residency here in October last year and since then have completed residencies at Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts, Guildford School of Drama, Arts Educational School and Oxford School of Drama.
Learning Disability and Contemporary Theatre
Following the launch of the new book Learning Disability and Contemporary Theatre by Jon Palmer and Richard Hayhow, our actors Alan Clay, Robert Ewens, JoAnne Haines and Jonathan Ide were featured in a photo gallery of learning disabled actors.
In the Society section of The Guardian online, there are a selection of images from the recent tour of Boo by Mike Kenny, along with other learning disabled actors performing in various T.V, film and theatre roles.
Mind the Gap... On air
Last week BBC Radio Leeds Reporter, Kate Bradbrook came along and had a tour of MTG Studios, for a piece she was doing on projects in West Yorkshire that have benefitted from European funding.
As well as having a good look round at our fantastic facilities, she also interviewed Administrative Director, Julia Skelton about how money from Europe aided MTG in getting our new home.
Four Seasons
Our Acting Company are working hard putting together the final parts of their latest project, Four Seasons.
Four Seasons is a 1 1/2 hour workshop for people with complex needs exploring the journey of the seasons. The Acting Company have wanted to develop a complex needs piece for a long time, and now that we have our new home they are able to make full use of all the techincal and AV capabilities. The workshop will be a complete sensory experience, using imagery and lighting, sights, sounds and smells associated with each season.
