At Bamboozle we enable learning disabled children to find their own voice. We do this by producing immersive accessible theatre shows which tour the UK and internationally – China, Australia, Egypt and this year Sweden and Netherlands. We also work in schools and with families who have a disabled child delivering residencies in theatres and outdoor venues.   

All Bamboozle’s work is underpinned by our unique methodology – The Bamboozle Approach which is explained here.
