Climate Change Double Bill at Lister Park, Bradford

Co-created with theatre director, Nickie Miles-Wildin, these playful and largely non-verbal performances aim to bring climate themes into focus.

“There’s often a disconnect between climate research and public engagement; facts and statistics can be inaccessible and confusing. We wanted to make shows that were light-hearted and full of fun to raise awareness about the subject without overwhelming people.

“We want audiences to feel a sense of belonging and connection to the planet and to feel inspired to make changes, no matter how small.” – Co-creator Nickie Miles-Wildin.

Coral’s Island and Planet Inspectors are part of a bigger programme of work about climate change, which Mind the Gap will be exploring over the next few years. The project was inspired by the realisation that many people, including those with learning disabilities, are often excluded from climate change conversations. Mind the Gap will be addressing these issues through public performance.
