Hijinx
Hijinx is an inclusive theatre company based in Cardiff; all our productions include learning disabled performers alongside performers without learning disability. To support our work we have a network of Academies around Wales that train learning disabled performers in a variety of skills. We provide this training because it is virtually impossible for an actor with learning disability to access more traditional drama schools or universities. When ready, students from our Academies join us on our professional productions. This ensures that our work is always of the highest quality, with all artists starting a process on an equal footing. Crossings features one our performers with a learning disability, Andrew, who was heavily involved in the devising of the production.
