Awareness training is often a first step for productions looking to include and support learning disabled and autistic talent.

Training can be in-person or on Zoom, always co-led by a learning disabled or autistic trainer.

The sessions give an overview of learning disability and autism, an introduction to neurodiversity, and an introduction to accessible communication. They include:

  • Introduction to learning disability and autism
  • Introduction to neurodiversity
  • Language and social model of disability
  • Barriers faced by learning disabled and autistic people
  • Introduction to accessible communication
  • Introduction to creating friendly environments

Our work has 4 focuses

We create

We make shows. Live, digital, onstage, offstage, backstage, virtual reality, TV, film, in our public buildings and in your streets.  

First and foremost, we’re a company of artists with stories to tell. All our work is co-created from the lived experience of learning disabled and autistic artists. 

We change

Our society is ableist. We want to change it.   

Through our consultancy programme, we train, support and co-create with TV, film, and theatre companies.   

We run access training, offer bespoke creative support to learning disabled and autistic talent, and co-create scripts. We’re ready to work with any production team, broadcaster, theatre, casting director, or company that wants to make their work and workplaces more accessible. 

We train

Traditional routes to professional careers in the arts are usually closed to learning disabled and autistic creatives.

Through our Diploma, our Associate Artists Programme, and our ground-breaking Transforming Leadership work, we work with artists to develop the skills they need in an accessible way.  

We train, develop, and mentor some of the world’s leading learning disabled and autistic artists and leaders at every stage of their careers, and support them into sustainable work in the arts.

We engage

No one should be left out of the arts because of access needs.

Our Take Part programme of sensory and creative workshops improves wellbeing, fosters community inclusion, and supports learning disabled and autistic people in our communities to make great art.

Intro ‘paragraph 1’ should stand out a bit more and maybe a ‘way to highlight some text’ in the paragraph as well. And maybe some way to highlight a link 1 specifically for the intro paragraph. And also ‘link clicked 1.

And then normal ‘paragraph 2’ text and ‘way 2 to highlight some text’ in normal paragraph. Back to normal ‘paragraph 2’ and ‘way 3 to highlight some text’ in the normal paragraph. Also could be good to think about ways ‘link 2’ would appear in normal paragraph. And also ‘link clicked’
