Pieces of Hate

Pieces of Hate was a 12 month project dealing with the subject of hate crime towards people with physical and learning disabilities. The process involved over 60 individuals from South and Mid Wales, working closely with the writer Philip Michell and Director/Actor John Norton, in creating pieces based on the groups opinions and experiences of the subject. The piece was performed at Chapter Arts Centre, Cardiff, by 14 members of Theatr Ffynnon and was based around 5 real incidents which happened to various members of the company.

“If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself” Socrates.

Cluttering

Theatr Ffynnon and Sherman Cymru Youth Theatre present “Cluttering”

d-d-d–do y:ou re-really (h)ear m:e?

Through creative development, exploration and research, the performance will look to unravel what happens between the listener and speaker, when the “expectation of communication is violated” .

Enter a world of blackboards,chalk, talking, dancing, stories and loud music!

This has been an 8 month collaborative project between Theatr Ffynnon and Sherman Cymru through a series of workshops and residency, involving pupils from Crownbridge Special Needs School, participants from Sherman Cymru Youth Theatre, along with support from the staff from Torfaen Transitional Team and Youth Service.
