National Theatre Wales’ Assembly programme has developed into a three-year programme of work called The Big Democracy Project, which explores how art and creativity can play a part in helping communities across Wales re-engage with the democratic process.
We’ve already started asking Wales what the big questions for the future are - and how we should go about making changes.

Hi all. The next Big Democracy event is tomorrow evening, 7pm at the Oasis Centre in Cardiff. The event, chosen by public vote, asks the question "why is identity important?" and is lead by a company of artists who have asylum and refugee status in Wales.
There'll be music, food, conversation and debate. And it's free!

Interactive Theatre workshop with fantastic Turkish theatre-makers at WMC next Tuesday (10th March)!
Hello - I'm hosting a workshop exploring the working process of the critically acclaimed and controversial theatre company behind 'Mi Minor' - a theatrical and highly interactive performance in which the audience can choose to support the 'government' in power or organise itself into active resistance within the performance itself.
The workshop would be great for any actors and creatives interested in learning about interactive forms and the powerful use of digital media in performance.
The workshop will be from 10-4.30 on Tuesday 10th March at WMC. Thanks to support from Arts Council of Wales this event is free. Please drop me a line at pauljenx@me.com to find out more or book a place.
