Mind the Gap Theatre Company

Mind the Gap is England’s leading learning disability performance and live arts company.

They deliver a wide-ranging programme of work that falls into three different areas:

Performance & Live Art: creating bold, cutting edge, world-class performance and live art events that put people with a learning disability and autism at the heart of the artistic process.

Talent Development: the Academy provides a range of different courses that nurture and develop the talents and skills of people with learning disabilities and autism.

Sector Leadership: collaboration and partnership with other organisations is key to ensuring that the arts sector is more inclusive to people with learning disabilities and autism.

Founded in 1988 by Tim Wheeler and Susan Brown, Mind the Gap exists to enable people with learning disabilities and autism to be part of an arts sector free from discrimination, where people are trained, respected and employed equally, and feature every day on our stages and screens.

The company works with learning disabled and autistic artists to deliver a bold, cutting edge and world class artistic programme. A programme that excites, surprises and challenges audiences locally, nationally and internationally.
