the theatre company

Unanima Theatre’s has been making work since 2008.

The company has a core ensemble of eight learning disable and / or autistic members, whose compelling devised performances invite audiences to laugh, ponder and wonder as well as stimulate social change.

As a company we are becoming increasingly intolerant of learning disabled and autistic people remaining segregated, overlooked, and infantilised by society and we will continue to produce art that sparks solutions until this has stopped.

Unanima Theatre have a weekly ensemble training day on Friday’s 11am – 4pm, and we maintain an open invitation for community members to visit and watch this training.

Sessions are held at The Old Library, Leeming Street, Mansfield NG18
