Mind the Gap - I'm with Stupid

Mind the Gap Acting Company | I'm with Stupid

"some are born stupid, some achieve stupidness, and some have stupidness thrust upon 'em"
William Shakespeare(ish)

This March, Mind the Gap's Acting Company will be in residence, conducting a series of theatrical experiments in and around Leeds Met University that aim to shed light on the very nature and art of stupidity. They will examine stupidity as a life strategy; stupidity as a deliberate act. From their makeshift Arts Lab they will make field trips in search of Lab Rats to take part in all manner of pointedly pointless experiments.

In a wry turning of the tables where learning disabled people are researchers instead of the subjects of research, the company will be asking, is stupidity contagious? Is there a cure? Is it Art?

Preliminary research findings will be revealed on Thursday 13 March, 6.30pm. All tickets are �5.

Mind the Gap makes performances in which learning disabled and non-disabled artists work together as equals.
