«Taganka Shed» Theatre

Inclusive Theatre "Taganka Shed" is a project in partnership between the Taganka Children's Fund and the London theatre company Chickenshed.

It is a theatre for everyone, without restrictions of age, or health status.

There are many sides of a child's life, where deep and serious experiences, which are hidden inside and not tackled properly, remain in place, putting pressure on the child's mental health and becoming a source of bad moods or behavioural problems, as well as unaccounted for health issues. Involving children in creative activities is an effective means of developing children's abilities and their creative individuality, initiative, and identity formation. Living through a variety of situations in the theatre, the child becomes aware of the challenges, learns to react to the events, discovers new values and meets special people who are different. It opens up new possibilities for building new relationships and for self-realization, so that one can improve their own understanding and grow.

Preparation of theatrical performances helps a child to be more organised, responsible, caring about other, a sense of your partner's "elbow" helps create a community, and by doing so it is  helping to overcome possible feelings of embarrassment, shyness and self-constraint. Participating in staging has a powerful therapeutic effect on children and helps them overcome many issues and strengthen psychological health.

Methodology and philosophy of the inclusive theatre was shared with us by the Chikenshed London theatre project, and we hope to successfully develop this area of work in Russia.

A highly professional team of teachers at "Taganka Children's Fund"  help children and young people to express themselves better, to overcome communication barriers, to learn to communicate better with people, to understand and accept themselves and others just as we and they are. We believe that the talent lives in each of us.
