About us

Liberdade (Pronounced li-ber-dar-jie) began in 2003 as an apprenticeship scheme with the aim of enabling 8 people with learning disabilities to set up and run their own physical theatre company. We wanted to show how running an organisation could offer people with learning disabilities choice, and the opportunity to shape the world in which they live.

We are now a disability arts charity (No:1163955) with a strong track record of:

• Enabling people with learning disabilities to lead their own organisation

• Running Gosforth Civic Theatre, a 200 seat independent arts venue that brings people together

• Creating high quality physical theatre and film

• Delivering best practice arts, and health and wellbeing programmes for people with learning disabilities from across the North East

• Developing partnerships and participating in regional and national network organisations that further our work and enable us to share our practice.

Over the years we have refined how and why we work in the way we do, this has led to Liberdadeʼs overarching mission. Liberdade has a soul, it cares for people and pushes them to excel, it always goes above a beyond and doesnʼt know the meaning of can't. People with learning disabilities come to Liberdade to work, to train others, to expel old misconceptions but mostly to belong.

We work by using arts and social enterprise as a tool for change, both within our participants and society as a whole. We use the process of performing and being a member of a company as a mechanism for personal and social development.
