The Extant Theatre Company was formed in 1997 and is based at Ovalhouse Theatre, London. Extant is Britain's professional performing arts company of visually impaired people. Maria Oshodi is the company's Artistic Director and CEO.

Extant aims to broaden employment, training and consultancy through the arts for the visually impaired. The name Extant was chosen because it is the opposite of 'extinct'. Formed in 1997, Extant was the name chosen by a group of professional visually impaired artists.[1]

Extant are best known for producing and touring productions by visually impaired artists around the UK and internationally.[2]
