Greetings.

Just to let you know of my summer stage fighting course this July. Cheers.

'Now into our 10th year at the beautiful 14th Century castle of St Donats in Llantwit Major, Cardiff, come and learn the craft of how to fight safely, convincingly and efficiently for stage with our experienced Fight Masters and Assistants. We will be training you from scratch for a full intensive week in which you'll be put into an exam at the end of the course. Your weapons will be sword and dagger, single sword and unarmed combat. (If you've completed one of our 3 weapon course already, you can then upgrade to the next level).

Our Fight Masters have worked professionally in the business choreographing and action performing for tv, film and stage featured on BBC, ITV, HTV, Walt Disney/Pixar, The West End, RSC, Shakespeares' Globe, Royal Opera House, to name but a few and they all teach in drama schools and universities around the UK.

The price for the course is £600 and this pays for everything: 3 meals a day, accommodation, full tuition, workshops, exam fee, full use of the castle grounds and its facilities: 2 swimming pools, basketball and tennis courts, gym.

Hello everyone,

"Love at First Light" finishes its run at Chapter Arts Centre this Saturday.   Its been getting a great response thus far. We're in a development phase, but its still a show packed with great performances and much to relish.

The richly comic “Love at First Light”, like first love and childhood, takes place on a blissful summer’s day by the sea.  A vivid array of eccentric, hilarious and troubled characters find themselves sitting next to one another, soaking up the sun wondering what became of their first loves.  From a couple who swing, to an old woman remembering her G.I. lover, a lost Pakistani woman with a feast for her friends to a misanthropic man in search of peace to write his memoir, we unravel what brought them to this beach, which by the way seems to be playing tricks on them

 

“ Love at First Light” comes from the award winning team of writer Greg Cullen and choreographer Phil Williams, whose last show “Muscle” won the prestigious Herald Angel Award at the Edinburgh Festival before a successful tour of Wales. Based on interviews with real people, truth once again proves stranger than fiction as memories swing between the hilarious to the deeply moving and tender.

 

With a cast that includes TV presenter and actor Hannah Daniels, Trinidadian singer Mary-Ann Roberts, S4C regular Jams Thomas and newcomer Rhys Downing, “Love at First Light” is a rollercoaster of entertainment that is becoming the stock in trade for Cardiff based company Shock n Awe Performance Co.  Fans of “Muscle” will recognise the excellent Francois Pandolfo who shines alongside Lisa Zahra, Natalie Paisey and Gary Knowles.

 

Greg and Phil first worked together on groundbreaking productions for the National Youth Theatre of Wales such as “Café Cariad” and “An Informer’s Duty”. They formed Shock n Awe in 2010 to continue combining dance and drama in new and exciting ways. “Love at First Light” is no exception and promises a feast of music, dance and wonderful stories.
