Odyssey is Hijinx’s inclusive adults' community group.
This year, we are celebrating 25 years of creating engaging community theatre for families.
Each winter our members perform in the Weston Studio, Wales Millennium Centre. Our plays are written for the cast, who work with a professional production team invested in our members. This year our cast will also be devising and performing a piece of outdoor theatre for Hijinx’s Unity Festival.
Our members:
- Are 25 years old plus
- Are disabled and non-disabled
- Love performing
- Thrive in a busy, fun community
Do you enjoy performing? Are you looking for an exciting new opportunity this year?
We are currently seeking 3 neurotypical members to join our cast.
It's important to know...
- Rehearsal times: Monday evenings 7 – 9pm (term time) and some weekends (towards performances)
- Rehearsal venues: Norwegian Church, Cardiff Bay
- Members are a mix of those with professional and non-professional experience of performing
- There is a termly fee of £40 (payable 3 times per year). This will be rising to £45 per term in April 2024
Our members have built a safe, supportive environment. They consider themselves a family and can't wait to welcome some new energy into the group!
The process of joining:
We ask for applications so we can find people who are dedicated and will be a good Odyssey fit.
We will then invite some individuals to join us for a taster session.
We will ask you how you found the experience and if you’d like to continue.
The group will discuss who they feel is a good fit for the community.
We will contact all people with an outcome, which will be an offer to join or not.
Application emails should be sent to jon.dafydd-kidd@hijinx.org.uk. The deadline to apply is Monday 1st April.
Find out more about how to apply on the Hijinx website. Email jon.dafydd-kidd@hijinx.org.uk with any questions. We look forward to hearing from you!
