About the company
ZooNation Youth Company is ZooNation’s subsidised talent development programme for young performers who have a focused desire to train in ZooNation’s signature styles and develop their passion.
Every year we audition and meet many young adults to set up the programme, who then train every week and experience a variety of high profile performance opportunities.
The 2023-24 cohort of ZooNation Youth Company is directed by Chaldon Williams.
Chaldon was a participant of ZooNation and iii’s The Artists in 2021, and since then worked on the Olivier Award winning TRAPLORD.
We are hugely excited about Chaldon’s vision for the new ZooNation Youth Company.
