Taliesin Create
Taliesin Create
Taliesin Create is a dynamic and inclusive creative space, designed to be as flexible as possible for students and staff across Swansea University.
Located on the ground floor of the Taliesin building, Taliesin Create exists to promote art, culture, creativity and innovation. Taliesin Create consists of two bookable spaces, the Mall Room and the Studio.
Taliesin Create also features a zone for general study, an area for students and staff to socialise and relax, easy-to-use projectors, a green screen for filming, and areas for pop-up exhibitions and displays.
Taliesin Create hosts over 60 student and staff events each month, meaning it continually evolves with everyone who uses it. Over the past year, we’ve supported events as varied as kite making workshops for Danny Boyle’s Pages of the Sea; puppetry workshops with Smoking Apples Theatre; a programme of events for the 200
th
anniversary of Frankenstein; and Q&As with the 2018 Dylan Thomas Prize’s shortlisted authors.
We’ve also hosted the Research as Art 2018 photography exhibition, short film screenings for the Wales International Film Festival, regular Makers’ Markets, and weekly dance classes in American Tribal Style (ATS) Belly Dancing and Argentine Tango.
Rooms and Features
The Mall
The Mall is the glass-walled room at the front of Taliesin Create. The room has a carpeted floor, capacity for 60 people, and can be closed off from the rest of the ground floor by two sliding glass doors. There are a number of tables and chairs set up in the Mall. The tables can easily be folded away if you require greater use of the floor space.
There is disabled access for wheelchairs towards the rear of the room.
The Mall has a ceiling mounted projector and retractable projection screen:
The room has no PC but has an easy to use faceplate allowing a portable device (for example laptop) to be plugged in using a HDMI or VGA cable. These cables can be loaned from Taliesin Create in advance of your event.
The projector system is controlled by a simple push button device mounted near the projection screen (On, Off, Volume, HDMI and VGA). When selecting the ‘On’ button from the controller the projection screen will drop down and the projector will start up. The room is fitted with an induction loop.
Campus Catering have the Mall listed on their system as a venue and can deliver catering orders here.
The Studio
The Studio is Taliesin Create’s amphitheatre space, which has a vinyl floor and bleacher seating as well as a number of moveable chairs. The Studio has capacity for 60 people and disabled access for wheelchairs towards the rear of the room (near the Egypt Centre).
Unlike the Mall, the Studio cannot be closed off from the rest of Taliesin Create so remains an open, flexible space where people can come and go, drop in and drop out; perfect for performances, workshops and activities.
To make the space even more flexible, the Studio is separated from the rest of Taliesin Create by two retractable walls with moving boards. These boards can be used to create a wall to make events feel more contained, or pushed aside to open the space up and increase the size of the balcony area.
The Studio has a ceiling mounted projector and retractable projection screen:
The room has no PC but has an easy to use faceplate allowing a portable device (for example laptop) to be plugged in using a HDMI or VGA cable. These cables are not kept in the room but can be loaned from Taliesin Create in advance of your event.
