I've begin to blog about process, theatre and performance... The next 12 months promise to be pretty wild, with 4 productions of my work, all very different in style, aesthetic, context and content, so I've set myself the task to reflect on this experience - what I think, what I learn, what I question...

Cilgwyn are looking for 2 production interns to work with us on our new project The Belly of the Whale.
About the project: Taking inspiration from recent events in Chile and New Zealand and from the Gresford mining disaster of 1934 The Belly of the Whale will explore what happens when the human mind is left to ponder its last moments. Do you replay the best moment of your life over and over? Do you look for forgiveness? Do you seek justice? Do you try to find hope in the…

"This whole production by Told By An Idiot and National Theatre Wales is a triumph," says Fest magazine, the latest to give the production a 5* rating.
"From its magical stage design to the giddy use of absurd theatrical techniques, everything is in harmony with Thomas' world-view."
You can see some audience members' reactions in a seres of videos on…

Today we got what we hope will be our first 5* review for The Dark Philosophers, in Fringe Review:
"There is no discernible vulnerability in this slick performance. The whole cast are remarkably versatile and slip in and out of the various characters with alarming…

Comrades,
At the beginning of the week I went to Caernarfon with Abdul to see the wonderful people of Galeri and record Jason84 and Dion Jones who have been jamming together since Caernarfon Assembly last January.
We had a great day, Dion, Jason, Dylan and the rest of the crew recorded 4 songs.
Here are 2 of them.
NB: If your neck hurts, please remember when I was making good video and be compassionate…

… it turns out Lyn Gardner's recommendations are really worth something. My last day in Edinburgh was spent participating in Alma Mater and viewing I Hope My Heart Goes First. What a wonderful way to end my time at the Fringe.
Alma Mater ★★★ is a one-person journey into a child's imagination, powered by an iPad. Looking at the video on the tablet as you would the…

Sooooo first off sorry for the time it has taken to blog this I have been traveling and catching up with family.
So the last days were very busy the 'Seagull Effect' by Idle Motion was a stand out show really enjoyable and we met with Grace from the company after the show who was a really cool interesting person. Really enjoyed the way the show begins and ends and some beautiful use of projection and umbrellas. This show is well worth a watch so pop along to Zoo Roxy for…

Next week as part of the Magdalena project celebrations ‘Magdalena@25’ I will be revisiting a show I made with Volcano almost ten years ago – ‘This Imaginary Woman’. The subject of the show is my mother- about her bringing up 5 kids on her own, her illness with Multiple Sclerosis, her death in 1996 – she is this imaginary woman. The show was created as a ‘song cycle’ in the vein of a Berlinesque ‘Kurt Weil’ type cabaret with influences…

If it is true that 'nothing succeeds like excess', then Brent and I have had a very successful few days indeed. Seeing up to six shows a day as well as a far from quantifiable load of street theatre, we've absolutely binged on the stuff... and I'm starting to feel a little full. While I'm still enjoying myself to the core, it must be said that it's starting to take a lot to impress me. Beware, Cardiff. I'm going to be a much less forgiving critic when I return.…
