About Hijinx

The heart of our work is always our learning disabled and/or autistic artists, who constantly challenge perceptions of what theatre and film can be and how they should be made. Performances that change the way that we perceive the world are the performances that remain with us forever. This is what we aspire to make. 

Our Vision. 

A world in which learning disabled and/or autistic people are empowered, valued and have fair access to opportunities as artists and in every aspect of life. 

Our Mission.

We champion learning disabled and/or autistic artists through:

• Creating unmissable theatre driven by our artists that tours to audiences across Wales, the UK and internationally.
• Developing and supporting artists to work professionally both at Hijinx and beyond.
• Through creative engagement, building community, confidence and life skills

Using joy as a form of resistance, we create work that is provocative, impactful and outstandingly entertaining.
