Welcome 

The Short, Short Film Festival goes online for a limited time - check it out!

We had our biggest attendance yet as the short short film festival becomes a regular fixture in Our Stomping Grounds. We were thrilled to share a broad range of films made by or about learning disabled and learning disabled neurodivergent people. It's a really valuable way to ensure we're making a digital impact as we record and share the work of disabled artists, not only ensuring visability and representation but placing us at the heart of culture. With huge thank to all those who shared their films with us, and festival audiences. Read more and watch the 2025 films here... 

About Us

"Passionate performances and projects from a dynamic disabled-led company delivering trail-blazing work based in the North East of England"

Little Cog is a disabled-led production company founded by Artistic Director Vici Wreford-Sinnott in 2011.  The company seeks to put the hidden stories and experiences of disabled people centre-stage, whilst challenging entrenched historical and medical perceptions of disability and disabled people. We explore and celebrate an extraordinary social phenomenon with phenomenally talented disabled theatre actors, writers, artists, designers, thinkers and practitioners. We aim to complete the contemporary cultural landscape with beautiful, powerful, witty and challenging work. We explode the stage with new protagonists, new narratives and new or forgotten stories. 
​

"A light-hearted start to a complex, often emotional play, investigating mental health and stigma throughout the ages. A challenging, important play"

The Northern Echo

We are based at ARC Stockton Arts Centre but work all over the North East, as well as both nationally and internationally.  We create original theatre, sometimes developed by our writer/director Vici Wreford-Sinnott, and we also have a new national commissioning programme and offer mentoring advice and support to a range of associates. We are passionate about creating projects which provide experiences and platforms for disabled peoples' voices in all sorts of ways. So we have a strong participatory programme, we involve disabled people in creative discussions, showcase new writing, and are committed to supporting a community of disabled artists in the North East.

. We are collaborating with Black Robin to create On Whose Shoulders We Build which is a living archive for disability arts on the North East past and present. We believe that theatre is a platform for all disabled voices and are delighted to be regular collaborators with the learning disabled ensemble Full Circle. Vici is an ardent believer in the power of comedy, and the power of women to be funny and is producer of Funny Peculiar, a new project creating opportunities for disabled women in comedy.

We also have a belief in sharing our knowledge and experience in the area of Disability Equality in the arts and offer training and workshops, talks, keynote speeches and conference provocations.

"Congratulations on a profoundly moving, thought provoking, illuminating and emotionally intelligent piece of theatre"

"I was immediately drawn into the world you had created - totally compelling"
