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
