'Estate of Mind'

Arakan was commissioned by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) to produce a new play that was to platform their research findings about life on two of Bradford's traditionally White estates. The result...'Estate of Mind'.  

 

'Estate of Mind' performed on August 3rd and August 5th at the Bingley Arts Centre and the Alhambra Studio respectivley, and in November it is was performed at venues in York and Birmingham. The aim was to explore how residents understand their communities and how they particpate in community life. Delegates then had the opportunity to ask questions to a panel made up of one of the actors (in character), researchers and residents.

JRF and the play went on to feature on BBC Breakfast News and there are hopes to take the show to various venues throughout the UK in 2011. We shall be updating the website accordingley.  

 

Arakan would like to give them a huge thanks for putting their faith and trust in our work – and taking Arakan to the next level. Insha’Allah (God willing) we’ll deliver what they expect and more.
