Stratford is officially the home of Talent House—a new creative institution and joint venture between UD Music and East London Dance, which aims to offer resources to aspiring dancers, singers, songwriters, producers, podcasters and DJs—those looking to hone their skills and take advantage of their recording equipment, studios, instruments, and spaces.
Launched with initial funding from Arts Council England, the Greater London Authority (GLA), and several other organisations, UD and East London Dance will also focus on schools outreach, skills programmes and professional development. Together, the two organisations are building on over 20 years of work in the arts, particularly in Black British music. UD, specifically, has worked with countless big-name acts—many from early on in their careers—including Skepta, Wretch 32, Little Simz, Ghetts, Andreya Triana, Maverick Sabre, Devlin, Labrinth and more.
