Birds of Paradise Theatre Company

Birds of Paradise Theatre Company was formally launched in 1993 and is Scotland’s first touring theatre company employing disabled and non-disabled actors. Many of their original aims have remained the same since then: to employ disabled and non-disabled actors and other theatre professionals, to commission new work, to work in partnership with other organisations at home and abroad, to create positive images of inclusion and to encourage participation in the arts. They are disability-led since 2012 through the appointment of their current Artistic Directors and their training has been developed by a disabled-led team with many years experience of delivering training.
