Wanted: People searching for an alternative Edinburgh Fringe experience.

I’ve been touring a piece of theatre recently. It’s a one man show that I’ve performed in community halls, empty meeting rooms and a back yard in a block of squats.  It’s called Particles. People have enjoyed it and I’ve received a lot of great feedback for it. One of the unanimous thoughts that have come from this however has been “Are you taking this up to Edinburgh for the fringe?”

I’m not. I didn’t have my show ready when deadlines were approaching. I was tempted to jump the gun…

The Big Democracy Project launches #BigDemocracy

Almost everyone I know or speak to feels disillusioned, disengaged, disempowered by the state of our political system, and that it’s broken. I’m really interested in politics and our democratic process, yet the first time I voted was this year, 2014 (I’m 38). Personally, I often feel completely powerless and unable to do anything about the state of my community, my county, my planet. Hopefully, The Big Democracy Project will, in some way, enable me and others people to perform, debate and…

About to go on #NTWSummercamp

I’m just sitting in the calm of my living room thinking about what is in store for me and every body else who is about to go on Summercamp. From past experience I know it’s going to be full on: it will be hard work, long days, and people questioning what they do and why they do it - but I also know how quickly the time will fly past. We’ll have to find ways of checking in with ourselves to make sure we are able to really grab the moment before its gone.

Our Korean artists arrived in…

Keep at it !!!

I'm still relatively new to the whole theatre experience but can I just say I absolutely love it! After doing a mini tour and a new festival, it has got me buzzing for Edinburgh! I don't care if I get one man and it's dog to watch my play at least I reached out to that person. I'm having a really amazing time and I'll speak soon.

Life in a Small-Scale Theatre Company...Aberystwyth Mon Amour

Day Two of rehearsals with the cast, director, designer and sound designer. 

The world of Welsh Noir is proving fantastically challenging. But great fun. With eight actors, and three creatives in the room, it is packed full of ideas and everyone is contributing. The challenge, of course, is to work out which ones we use in this mad world of murder and mayhem on the…
