Throughout spring and summer 2018, The Talent 1st Organisation are delivering free open workshops to young people aged 8 to 25 years. From these workshops, a small number of exceptionally talented young people will be selected to benefit from Talent 1st’s industry renowned program of on-going training and support. Anyone aged 8 to 25 can apply, and no previous acting or training experience is required.

To attend an open workshop, applicants must apply through the Talent 1st website at www.talent1st.org

Speaking of this exceptional opportunity, Actor Maxine Peake said;

“At a time when it feels as though we are loosing huge swathes of talent, purely for financial reasons, this fantastic opportunity will really help keep the doors open to all talent. I am thrilled to see it breaking through so many young actors”.

Nominated alongside Liv Hill for this year’s BAFTA Supporting Actress award, Julie Hesmondlagh said;

“I wholeheartedly support the work of this fantastic organisation. I hope young people of all experience and backgrounds will feel inspired to apply for this genuinely brilliant opportunity”.

Actress Molly Windsor said;

Talent 1st opened up the world of acting for me at a young age and then gave me the skills to focus that creativity as a craft that could be used practically and professionally within the industry. Their continued support is invaluable. I cannot recommend this organisation to young actors enough.

Actress Liv Hill said;

‘Talent 1st have been instrumental in starting my career, the opportunities I have received from them are invaluable. This is such an important training ground for young actors and I feel incredibly lucky to be a part of it.’
