Zaraya- Assistant Director

Hi Team,

I am about to embark on the creation of devised piece with and by 4/5 Yemeni young women.

They are very exciting, don't have much theatre experience but an enormous amount of energy and ideas.

We'll work the equivalent of a week time scattered from the 8th June (next week) to 8th July in Cardiff, generally from 4pm to 7pm in Cardiff town centre.

The idea is for them to experience the process of creating a performance from the initial idea to a short…

Fear of Breathing - WalesLab

"I really want someone to deliver the message around the world that we are in a terrible situation here."



So this afternoon I'm in Rhosygilwen watching four actors (Matthew Bulgo, Matthew Aubrey, Gwydion Rhys & Rachel Helena Walsh) work with director, Zoe Lafferty. They're sitting opposite each other in two rows reading texts, tearing them apart, retreading them - pouring over the meaning and interpretation of each line.…

Asylum- part 2

Well, part 2 of the ‘Asylum’ project was a huge eye opener for me in so many ways.

 

Ummm….where do I start!

 

The main thing that I want audience members/players to experience in this piece is their relationship with their mind. It’s quite an intimate journey really. I wanted to put them in situations where their minds, instinct and response is tested to see how much we can trust our brains, how different we all are and ultimately, how mental health…

EARTHQUAKES IN LONDON @ RWCMD

Last night I went to see the above.



It began with the audience being let into a room, thrust into an unruly world as actors moved around and danced and the music blared. Quickly, audience members realised seating was very, very limited and we all became a little but unnerved.



It was ultimately the sole feeling of othe play. We were constantly disrupting the performance aas the scenes took place around the cleverly designed set of scaffolding and decking. The design… Continue

Can theatre heal wounds and do soldiers have soul?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1nO8M8MLgY

We are creating a show with a group of war veterans and their family members. It's a roller coaster. The stories we are hearing range from the terrifying to the ridiculous. American and British commanders squabbling in the Gulf desert, fear and paranoia on the streets of Northern…

Looking for actors for screenplay reading, Brecon.

I'm looking for two actors, preferably Welsh, to join a group reading my screenplay, The House of the Waters.  It's a rite of passage drama with the solving of an ancient riddle at its core.  I still need:

Mal, man in his seventies, a poet and philosopher, commanding, frail, devious and difficult.

Gethin, man in forties, tradesman, quiet, stoical, hidden depths.

There's no finance in place yet and this is not an audition or…

hangar 858

The site for Coriolan/us this coming August has officially been announced - Hangar 858 - a decommissioned WW2 aircraft hanger in St Athan, South Wales. Built in the late 1930's, and beautifully directly engineered, the vast open space contained and framed below its sweeping single span cast cement ceiling is providing us with both a place to realise this work, and also a context within which we can start to locate it.

On our latest site visit we were accompanied…

A Diamond in the Jubilee Weekend

Two awesome pieces of theatre on in Cardiff this week.

Belarus' Free Theatre doing Minsk 2011 at the Sherman - then a few days later when you've had a chance to get over that - Fragments of Ash is doing two nights at Chapter. It's the end of the tour. Bring tissues.

Try and see both but if push comes to shove we'd really like to see you at Chapter - forget I even mentioned the Sherman.
