Mind the Gap moves into new home
Theatre company Mind the Gap has opened its £2.1m performing arts workspace in Lister Mills in Bradford.
Mind the Gap Studios boasts three fully-equipped studio spaces for rehearsals, workshops, training and dance.
The organisation aims to help people with learning disabilities to become professional actors.
Designed by Allen Todd Architecure, the project was delivered in partnership with Bradford Council, and funded by £1.25m from Arts Council England, Yorkshire as well as the European Regional Development Fund, the Wolfson Foundation, WREN and the council itself.
Mind the Gap’s artistic director, Tim Wheeler, said: “We have come a very long way since starting Mind the Gap in a back bedroom in 1988. Our company is very privileged to have such a beautiful and inspiring home – just being here encourages activity.”
