National Youth Theatre of Wales / Theatr Cenedlaethol Ieuenctid Cymru

The fifty-five members of the National Youth Theatre of Wales 2010 are currently in-residence in Aberystwyth – working between the University and the Arts Centre - to create, rehearse and launch their 2010 production, Diwrnod Heb Ei Debyg / No Other Day Like Today, before touring to Clwyd Theatr Cymru in Mold and The Riverfront, Newport.

NYTW is particularly excited about this year’s production in that it takes to the stage with a brand new work written by young people. No Other Day li… Continue

Part of my work on NTW13 Passion has been finding and meeting the arts organisations from, originating from, or involving the natives of Port Talbot. So as part of my mission to walk the streets looking discovering art in all its forms, last week I met choreographer Doug Comley and the participants of the Dynion Summer School. Dynion started its life as an all-male community dance group and has now morphed into a fully fledged professional company after launching the dance careers of a host o

Saturday Morning - Take a Deep Breath

Okay, so if there's a mid point in our year-long theatre map, this is probably it. For me at least. I guess in theory half way through rehearsals of Love Steals us would be the mid point of 13 shows - or half way through the run.... but it certainly won't feel like a moment to pause and reflect. So I am officially designating today, Saturday 28 August and John McGrath's personal half-way point in the launch year programme of National Theatre Wales.

I'm not going to do a review of refle… Continue

Time to save a theatre

Up here on the North Pembrokeshire coast, there's not much in the way of theatre. And the one theatre we do have, Pembrokeshire County Council is intent on closing - by way of council cuts. Theatr Gwaun in Fishguard was (from the 1920s) a cinema, and still is - but from the 1990s it was reconfigured with stage and lighting for theatre and musical events. Closing the theatre would not only deprive the North Pembrokeshire community of an important entertainment venue, but one which can bring the u… Continue

NTW06 Brecon Assembly

There was something decidedly odd about the build-up to National Theatre Wales’ Assembly. Rumours flew around town claiming that somebody had coated Theatr Bycheiniog’s stage with real turf. Posts on the NTW community website hinted that they’d be traditional Ghurkha dancing alongside hot-off-the-press scriptwriting and aerial performance, bringing Brecon’s artistic and cultural variety together. I… Continue

Great Opportunity for Choreographers

2011 Tanja Liedtke Fellowship. The Fellowship is being offered by the Tanja Liedtke Foundation, by competitive selection, to a European dancer/choreographer between the ages of 20 and 35.

The 2009 Tanja Liedtke Fellowship saw Australian dancer/choreographer Antony Hamilton spend 7 weeks in Berlin where he developed a new work of his own, worked (and networked) with German based artists, and experienced just about everything Berlin had to offer artistically and culturally. The work that… Continue

All the fun of the Fringe!

So we had our first full day at Edinburgh yesterday, and what a full day it was. After some breakfast we were let loose on the Fringe? (Or perhaps that the other way around!)

With a Welsh comedian the only certainty of the day, I set off to the Ha… Continue
