Tania Kenny is Head of Talent at Western Edge Pictures. Her role as the key point of contact for writers, actors and directors working with the company also extends to the research and development of literature, film and theatrical material; hand-picking and working with the creative teams in Development.

With a Masters in Applied Theatre from Central School of Speech and Drama her exceptional career path from comedienne/actress and writer to a performance and development specialist has also seen her earn a PGC’s in Performance and Directing Text with Young People from The Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama.

It’s this specialist experience with young people as Head of The Jacksons Lane Youth Theatre Group that gives her such a valuable instinct to recognise and foster emerging voices in film and television and has also seen a raft of young people under her guidance go on to have careers in the industry.
