A behind-the-scenes look at RISE, the spectacular opening event heralding Bradford's stint as UK City of Culture in 2025.

Bradford’s Big Bash goes behind the scenes of RISE, which will be the spectacular opening event heralding Bradford’s stint as UK City of Culture in 2025.

The film follows a number of local people who are taking part in this extraordinary event, including amateur acrobats, singers, poets and a young magician. RISE has been created by award-winning theatre director Kirsty Housley in collaboration with Steven Frayne, the world-renowned, Bradford-born magician formerly known as Dynamo.

Bradford’s Big Bash, produced by Yorkshire-based Candour Productions, will showcase the power of the arts, celebrating the unique landscape, communities and diversity of Bradford, and bringing this proud Yorkshire city to a national, and even international, stage.
