Big Mind’s past productions include Going Slightly Mad, an unflinching autobiographical play about the mental health services in the United Kingdom. The show’s national tour and run at the Edinburgh Fringe took place from July to August of 2019. Our first foray into digital theatre was a production of Vaclav Havel’s absurdist classic The Garden Party which streamed live in July of 2020. The company’s first production, Mind-Full (2017), was a piece of verbatim theatre created by company founder Katrina Woolley on the topic of student mental health.

Casa Batlló is one of the most famous architectural works by the modernist architect Antoni Gaudí in Barcelona. To provide an award-winning cultural experience, Casa Batlló utilised the latest projection technology. One room has 36 projectors and a dome with over 1,000 screens to represent the mind of a young Gaudí. The natural universe that inspired the architect comes to life, letting guests participate in the creative experience. Department of Wonder describes itself as equal parts immersive theatre, arcade, art gallery and theme park. Located in Sugar Land, Texas, the award-winning immersive, mixed-reality fantasy blurs the line between physical and digital reality. Guests must solve puzzles within a fantastical universe of interactive experiences and colourful characters.

Nancy Medina directs the show, designed by Rajha Shakiry, with a bright touch that sometiems emphasizes the humorous satire over some of the terrible tragedy. She is brilliantly served by Tanya Moodie (familiar from Motherland), who reprises the role she performed in 2017 for Laurence Boswell. Once again, her Wiletta shines in her humorous performance of racial stereotypes and ends the evening on a powerfully heartfelt assertion of her aspirations. Her range is impressive, and her singing moving. Equally strong are Daniel Adeosun’s John and Cyril Nri’s Sheldon, who give depth to the serious side of the drama, while Naana Agyei-Ampadu’s Millie and Emma Canning’s Judy are perfectly entertaining. As well as Gary Lilburn, who plays the Henry the caretaker, the rest of the cast — Joe Bannister (director’s assistant Eddie), John Hollingworth (Bill) and superb Rory Keenan (Manners) (all pictured above) — are similarly convincing. This revival of an American classic is both relevant and fun. Another example of Disney’s use of experiential technology is Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run at the Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge lands. The attraction uses a mixture of real-time content delivery and live interaction to deliver a unique immersive experience for every guest. Therefore, each visitor enjoys a slightly different experience and story based on their interactions. Our aim is to make great theatre that makes audiences think differently. By “theatre” we don’t just mean shows that you can see in arts and theatre venues, but also performances and events in different spaces and places.

Our Mindful Photography and Walking combines photography, nature, and an enjoyable variety of walks. When we are mindful, we are more aware of our surroundings. Photography can support us in slowing down our minds and really noticing things. Nearly 25 years later and we’re no closer to an answer – with big tech, social media and the advance of AI impacting our lives in a million different ways. It’s from this ever-shifting landscape that Free Your Mindwas born. Ekanem Hines, also a former social worker with over thirty years’ experience working in mental health, “I would like to thank Croydon Council for providing these free platforms for us to showcase such important issues to people in the borough. These films and the stage performance depict honest and thought-provoking accounts of what it is like to experience mental health issues in today’s society. They aim to touch the audience emotionally and physically by shining a spotlight on mental health issues from the perspective of service users and carers.” This year we are collaborating with Bradford Producing Hub to put on a further week-long festival exploring more topics around performance and wellbeing, with a specific emphasis on Bradford and the North of England. Sightlines Festival 2021A showcase of hard-hitting and emotive portrayals of mental health issues in the UK today will be shown in Croydon to mark this year’s World Mental Health Day.
