TEAM Social Night

The TEAM Social Night is a unique, warm and inviting night that celebrates National Theatre Wales TEAM across the country with performances, music,…

Title says it all.

I've just found something cool. It's a website called Cowbird .

A global storytelling website where people share their stories! True or fictional, cool photos, nicely designed. Just cool. And you can see the stories by either location, topic, people or at random. 

They've done some great work with Pine Ridge Community where they have been able to share the variety of incredible stories…

Yesterday afternoon me and three TEAM members took to the streets of Cardiff, armed with paper boats, a paddling pool and marker pens.

We asked people in the street to think about where they felt most free, to coincide with the opening week of 'In Water I'm Weightless'. The question come from Sophie Stone a performer from IWIW, as a response from the show.

Here are some photos of us building boats in NTW office…

Just a quick thank you to everyone from the National Theatre, the Artists and friends of IARD, and the boys from Gisda.

It was a great week and a memorable Friday evening. Looking forward to reading the feedback.

I met Wyn for the first time in October when he made a point of welcoming me to the country and to the…

I've just got back to Cardiff after an intense six weeks of creating and directing a piece of promenade theatre on the council estate of Peblig in Caernarfon for Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru.

I had three main aims for this project-

1- I wanted the residents of the estate to be an integral part of the production.

2- I wanted the production to fit onto the estate organically and not be plonked on artificially.

3- I wanted it to be…

Going through my archive, looking for a picture I might have lost, I came across this posthumous portrait of my father which I made few years ago, just before my house was emptied.

The painting was made by my uncle, Jose Luis Cano, a recognized artist from where I am coming from and good friend of him.  Also, my mother’s brother who…
