Profile Information
- What I do:
- Creative Associate National Theatre Wales
- A little more about me:
- From 2006-11 I was Artistic Director of Camden People's Theatre. I've worked as a director, writer, performer, dramaturg, production manager and lectured on theatre history.
Most of the work I make is devised, and have made work for theatres, sites and audio pieces - the form and location dictated by the idea.
I'm really interested in creative processes and how people make work; I'd like to see people being more open about how they make work.
Message me if you want to know more about WalesLab, artist development, Emerging Directors, submitting ideas to NTW or anything that you think I might be able to help you with.
- Location:
- Cardiff is home but wherever in Wales I happen to be this week
- Projects I’m working on:
- WalesLab

The Fear Of Breathing
As thousands have been tortured, jailed, maimed or killed by the Syrian regime, The Fear of Breathing is a hard-hitting evocation of a life or death fight for freedom, experienced from the inside.To uncover these personal stories from the uprising, award-winning journalists Paul Wood of the BBC and Ruth Sherlock of The Daily Telegraph, together with theatre director Zoe Lafferty, travelled into Syria covertly, circumventing the ban on journalists and restrictions on movement for all…See More

"Hi Rowena,
big question. Planning is a major part of it I'm afraid - start with the end result & work backwards - working out when key things need to happen & who is going to do it.
It depends a lot on scale though - you can also try…"

****Last chance to apply**** How do we create work online in a networked world?
At NTW we've always got one eye on the future, thinking about how we make work and how we could make work.
For a while now we've been adding to the tools we use to make and develop work, but without any time to explore what these new tools mean or are capable of. That's about to change.
In 1998 I had a 56k dial-up modem and a mac clone, and was introduced to Google. The way this search engine worked change the way I did. In 1999 I was sending zip-disk back & forth to San…

There are definitely both in Newport. There's a proper boxing club not far from the police station in town and I know somebody who does wrestling at the SHARE Centre in Newport... at least I think that's where he does it. I'll get back to you with more details this evening. All the best Matt!
