Talent Boost - 2010

11th July 2010

Applications are now open for Talent Boost 2010, run in association with Graeae and supported by the BBC.

This year Talent Boost will train a cohort of 20 disabled and non-disabled actors alongside each other in London and Leeds. Our aim is to profile actors with physical and sensory impairments, and actors from minority communities, specifically South Asian, East Asian, Eastern European, Middle Eastern, Black British and Mixed Race. We will equip these actors with well-developed skills as on-screen performers and redress in some measure the imbalance in disabled and minority representation across the industry.

Talent Boost is an incredible project that aims to expand casting options and provide creative opportunities for participants from communities across the UK that are currently underrepresented in the broadcasting industry.

Actors will have the opportunity to work with established writers and directors on a short film which they will then have for their showreel.
