Fearless. Limitless. Boundless: Professional Theatre That Transforms Lives
No Strings Theatre Of Disability stands as South Australia’s premier disability theatre company, with a 30-year legacy of creating professional theatre that challenges perceptions and transforms lives.
Based in Stepney, we proudly work exclusively with performers living with disability, placing their artistic talent centre stage where it belongs.
Our award-winning productions tour locally, nationally, and internationally, creating powerful theatrical experiences that deeply move audiences and change how disability is perceived in the arts.
Our Approach
No Strings creates professional space that provides genuine access and opportunity for performers living with disability. We focus on artistic capability and creative potential, recognising ability, not disability.
Our theatre skills development workshops are where talent and experimentation meet.
Professional artists collaborate and co-devise new works with our performers, tailoring our approach to allow for the greatest form of engagement and expression.
We undertake professional mentoring in a supportive environment, working in partnership with our artists to help them develop their craft and explore their creative potential. This collaborative co-design reflects lived experience and ensures authentic representation.
Impact Beyond the Stage
Drama skills are life skills. As performers find their voice and develop their craft, they grow in leadership and independence.
This creates exciting new pathways to meaningful paid employment in the arts.
By showcasing the professional talent of performers living with disability, we challenge expectations and transform society’s understanding of artistic capability.
Our work demonstrates the power of diverse perspectives in creating extraordinary theatre.
Our Community
No Strings Theatre Of Disability thrives through the diverse talents and contributions of our vibrant community.
Our collaborative approach brings together performers living with disability and professional artists to create theatre that challenges perceptions and transforms lives.
