Tin Shed Theatre Co is a theatrical company of freelance artists, makers and creative innovators specialising in arts activity and creative outreach provision in Wales. The company seek to connect communities through creative activation in outdoor locations, publicly populated space, heritage sites and structures.
The company has over 15 years of experience creating large scale, site-responsive theatrical works. To date TSTC has developed multiple outreach provisions and partners, connecting disparate communities to form lasting intergenerational and cultural relationships.
“We are inspired by the atmosphere and connectivity of live theatre, we make outdoor performances that blend classic iconography with neon light. Through this work, we introduce ourselves to communities and encourage them to be bold and brave by inviting them to work closely with us and alongside us.
At its heart, our work is an ambition to tell stories, and these differ from project to project and place to place. However, what is constant is our ambition to locate ourselves in unusual spaces and collaborate with the brilliant and unique local and international artists, creating bold new work that could be a large scale sitespecific, immersive performance, or an intimate, chat on a park bench”
