Vital Xposure is a disabled-led touring theatre company that promotes hidden voices with extraordinary stories to tell. Founded by disabled artist and activist Julie McNamara, who led the company’s creative work and artistic vision for its first decade, from January 2021, the torch has been passed on to actor, playwright and activist, Simon Startin. OUR VISION: a fairer world for marginalised artists to become creative leaders, with their work celebrated in the heart of our culture. We offer multi layered theatre productions ensuring quality work experiences for talented disabled artists. Our theatre productions lift the lid on vital social issues, raising awareness and uncovering new voices in the arts. We are committed to ensuring a safe, inclusive and collaborative environment in all our productions, where artists feel supported through their own professional and creative journey with us: “I love working with Vital Xposure. I feel valued and respected. The work is groundbreaking, inspiring, political and creative. It is rare for me to work in an environment in which I feel so safe, where there is an awareness of discrimination and a commitment to working inclusively." – Deni Francis, Actor “Working with the crew of Vital Xposure has given me more confidence in myself and in being myself with various other projects that I have or will be part of.” – Eden West, Actor In 2012 we became an Arts Council England’s National Portfolio Organisation. We are grateful for the public investment we have received and we continue to be an NPO for the funding period 2018 - 2022.
