Make it! is a new model of theatre making. It is an emerging artist-led network that seeks to connect up-and-coming performance creatives aged 18 – 29 in RCT with each other. Make it! also aims to innovate the way performance is commissioned, made and toured.

What is Sparc?

We are a Youth Arts project in Rhondda Cynon Taff. We work together & learn from each other. From the moment we enter the room we begin a journey of creativity, discovery & growth.

The Sparc team is an integral part of the community development work at Valleys Kids and we work with young people in a variety of settings.

Using creative techniques the children and young people explore different areas of their lives and the lives of others in a positive way.

Sparc Love Letters

To Artworks/Sparc,

How I've missed everyone!

It was so good to see how everything is the same yet not, seeing you guide the new generation!

I'm so lucky to have been with you guys for all of these years, you've inspired me to be more confident, to reach for the impossible. I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for you amazing people!

Thank you for giving me the fantastic memories that I look back on fondly and tell everyone who will listen.

Forever grateful,

Leah
