Professor Stephen Coleman of the Institute of Communication Studies at the University of Leeds found an innovative way to raise the impact of his AHRC funded research project The Road to Voting. During his research, he conducted nearly 60 research interviews with British residents from a range of social and economic backgrounds on attitudes to voting and democracy. He then gave the interview transcripts to artists from theatre, film, visual art, and a range of other disciplines, to use as material for projects seeking to engage members of the general public with the electoral process. Look Left Look Right productions created Counted, a documentary drama that insists democracy can only function practically if people know or believe their actions can change the system. Counted has just finished a début season at the West Yorkshire Playhouse and will be touring the UK, being performed in “unusual political spaces”.
