Only just catching breath after a very, very enjoyable residency in old Rhayader town with John, Gavin, Simon and a posse of new Dutch friends from Peer Group.
Spent one afternoon on a 'diversion' up a hill with with Bud Jones (theatre designer) and Gwynfor (the local hedge-layer). I think we laid about 5 metres of hedge between us although Gwynfor had probably done about 25 on his own before Bud and I arrived to slow his progress. Hugely enjoyable none the less.

FilmTEAM were well-represented, not least by the amazing Adam Dawson. Here's what Mark Kermode has to say about his film...
"We were very keen when we started the Hansel to say "whatever you've got, show it to us". There was one film called 'The Child' made…

Music Theatre Wales is currently receiving astonishing reviews for our latest production – THE KILLING FLOWER by Salvatore Sciarrino. I think this is an exceptional work, staged in a way that should appeal to NTW audiences, so I wanted to write about it here. Why?

Dull to me means grey, boring, or lacking interest. Last week in Rhayader I learnt that it can mean daft, silly, or having a lark. Local ranger, Al told me this on the corner, by the estate agents after having had tea at his Gran’s house. I was intrigued by the unusual use of this word. Having been brought up in a hamlet just outside of Salisbury before moving to East London, then to Madrid, then to Aberystwyth (where I currently reside) I’ve become attentive to different phrases and sounds…

On Sunday the 10th of November I attended Ballet Cymru’s performance of Romeo And Juliet in the Wales Millennium Centre. Having not had much experience with dance theatre, especially ballet I was looking forward to witnessing something new. The ballet took place in the Weston studio where I found the set visually intriguing, different parts of the stage had rows of chains which enabled the dancers the freedom to move in the space and give the…

In recent months, Fran Medley sadly passed away. She was the epitome of bravery and inspiration. And I was very lucky to call her my friend. In honour of Fran - a way of continuing her legacy of challenges and taking risks - saying thank you for so much - and finding a personal and meaningful way of saying bon-voyage - I have decided to walk the high wire. I have…

Now that the dust has settled I thought that I’d write a few words of the Rhondda Assembly that took place in the Park and Dare on 26th October. It was the final day of NTW’s residency in Treorchy.
Personally the month of October was a great journey that allowed me to feel closer and more connected to my country of birth. During the month I met and…
