WalesLab information
WalesLab was NTW's initiative for supporting emerging artists and new ideas for performance. This is a group and discussion forum for those artists involved in WalesLab or those interested in learning more about the various projects under development.
WalesLab consisted of:
Summercamp:
A summer camp for up to twenty theatre makers and artists of varied experience to share ideas, learn form each other and stimulate new collaborations and projects (watch the video below to find out more).
WalesLab projects -
Small groups working for around 1-2 weeks based somewhere in Wales.
Germinate: Three times a year small groups of artists will be offered the opportunity to spend around two weeks somewhere in Wales developing an idea or project which they have already begun working on, and will share their work with a local audience. There will be three Germinate projects a year, one of which will have an international element.
WalesLab is no longer open for new submissions. Have a look at the 'Your Work' page on the NTW website to find out about how to share your ideas with the company.

We're coming to the end of our time in Anglesey with the summercamp. Over the next couple of days you should see a few more short videos about our time here and some of our thoughts on the work we've all made. Today & tomorrow we'll be sharing where we've got to, and thinking about where to go next.

I'm not a regular blogger so please bear with me...
I'm part of the NTW Summercamp here on beautiful Anglesey and have also taken part in the DIY Festival this weekend, and just wanted to share some thoughts and work. The summer camp so far has been reallly interesting, particularly regarding the idea of process - I don't think I really got the knack of the camp until Thursday, if you can indeed get the knack of it. I started with an idea that I brought to the island, and although I still want to progress with it, it doesn't seem right to pursue it here, as it feels like a solo writing project and a waste of the people and (sometimes natural) rescources around me. But I have been inspired by a completely different idea with a completely different direction - so, so far so good.
However, coming into the DIY Festival I really had no idea what I would be doing for the weekend - what did I have to share? Should I play safe and use work I already had, or try something completely different? I plumped for the latter and have had a brilliant weekend, and I wanted to share with you the fruits of it - it's a video, of which its type I have never made before, and it's below.
I'm very much a planner, so to take the risk and go off in a random direction this weekend has been very rewarding, and now has made me look at the next week here in a new perspective: I still want to work on the projects I already have in fruition, but I'm keen to not only explore the work I created this weekend, but perhaps even set myself the challenge of creating something completely different and new each day. I haven't decided yet. But I guess that's the beauty of it - being here gives me the freedom to work in whatever way I want, and be inspired to try new approaches.
So, anyway, after all that very worthy comment, plese enjoy this extremely rough edit of what I've been up to at the DIY Festival, and decide for yourself if you think it was worth it!
