We are a Cardiff based, not for profit, organisation enabling young people to access the arts and get inspired about theatre making. Young people learn skills with us that will help them achieve in all aspects of their life; confidence, self awareness, body awareness, public speaking, creative thinking, presentation skills. We have two venues The Talent Shack and The Shack Studio, home to The Dance Shack. We teach all aspects of the performing arts including technical theatre arts. We run volunteer programmes and have scholarships and bursaries available that low income, local families can access easily.
The Talent Shack CIC (Community Interest Company) is a not for profit organisation providing opportunities for young people within the community to connect with the performing arts.
Our aims are:
To bring quality, structured performing arts classes and strong production values to local young people in an inclusive way
To widen the accessibility and experience of the Arts through performance and play
To provide a valuable creative learning space for the community within a social and inclusive environment, in person and online.
To target services to deprived communities within Cardiff and South Wales and communities who don’t find it easy to access quality drama and dance provision – such as children from low income families
Congratulations to our medal students! These are young actors who have worked through the grades with us over the past few years from Grade 1 and are now at medal level!Once you get to Grade 6 (bronze), Grade 7 (silver), Grade 8 (gold) you earn UCAS points. These exams take dedication and a lot of student led research. We delve into playwrights and practitioners and their influences and what was going on from a socioeconomic point of view. This is A-level standard work and incredibly rewarding. Students work on 3 contrasting monologues from different periods - pre 1800, 1800-2000, post 2000. We’ve just had our first Grade 7’s go in for their exams and we’re waiting patiently for their results!!LAMDA is a journey and we love seeing the individual progress.#lamdaexams#cardiffdramaclasses...

Congratulations to these amazing young actors who smashed their LAMDA ACTING SOLO exams recently! We have created small groups for Level 1 Acting (grades 1-3) and Level 2 (grades 4-5) Working in group can help with confidence and can lead to picking up ideas and technique quicker than in one to ones, as you learn together. It also helps keep the cost down!Thursdays 6-7pmLevel 1Ages 8-11£157-8Level 2Ages 11+£15Register on the website to start after Easter!www.thetalentshack.co.uk/lamda... See MoreSee Less
