A New Home for Graeae!
Bradbury Studios, 138 Kingsland Road
Graeae has been awarded £2.03 million by Arts Council England through the Lottery Programme to develop a groundbreaking workspace in East London.
The new offices, which will also house a state-of-the-art rehearsal space, have access at the core of the design. This is the first of its kind in the UK and continues Graeae’s role as a force for change in disabled theatre and in progressing mainstream theatre.
Graeae has been working with Artillery Architecture and Interior Design, to convert the former tram-sheds on Kingsland Road in Hackney into a building which will be a visible model of inclusive creative practice.
Everything has been informed by Graeae's unique approach to creative access: from tactile flooring to sensitive heating systems, acoustics and scented trees to adaptable work services and bright stylish WCs. The space has an urban yet off-beat feel and is a world away from the institutional buildings often associated with disabled people.
The move is imminent and please be aware that phone numbers and postal addresses will change. If you are on our mailing list we will update you with our latest details.
