A major coalition of UK broadcasters and industry partners has joined forces to launch the Textured Hair & Make-up for Deep Skin-Tones Accelerator, a new initiative from Dandi, brought to you by the team behind TriForce Creative Network (the TCN).<\/p>\n
The Accelerator builds on the 2025 Hair & Make\u2011Up Equity Guidelines, (produced by Dandi and available on the Pact website) and provides a practical, scalable solution to ensure equitable, culturally competent styling across the UK\u2019s screen industries.<\/p>\n
The initiative is backed by Prime Video Pathway, following their pilot programme in Scotland in 2025 as well as BBC, Sky, Channel 4, ITV and Screen Alliance North. This is a unique opportunity to gain hands on training, industry insight and direct access to employers, with the potential to progress into paid roles on High End TV productions.<\/p>\n
The Accelerator programme is centred around professional masterclasses in partnership with the renowned Kevin Fortune Hair Styling Academy. Two regional programmes: \u2018On-set\u2019 Afro hair and make-up for deep skin-tones masterclass sessions will be offered in 2026 \u2013 in the North West and the South West \u2013 with plans to expand further in 2027.<\/p>\n
The North West Masterclass sessions held in association with Screen Alliance North alongside Screen Manchester and Liverpool Film Office, will be held at Space Studios Manchester, with the hair masterclass on 01-05 June and the make-up masterclass on 15-17 June. Applications for the North West cohort are now being accepted at https:\/\/jobs.thetcn.com\/jobs\/Careers<\/a>. <\/p>\n Applicants can apply for either the hair or make-up course or both courses. Applicants must be from the North West.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A major coalition of UK broadcasters and industry partners has joined forces to launch the Textured Hair &…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":922539,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8815],"tags":[748,393,258615,4884,179,235327,22793,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-922538","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-liverpool","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-filmliverpool","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-liverpool","13":"tag-screen-alliance-north","14":"tag-skills","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116478518686636794","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/922538","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=922538"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/922538\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/922539"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=922538"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=922538"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=922538"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
