This month myself and three students at Cardiff University are working on a project with NTW on Marketing Theatre. One of the key areas we are looking at is reaching and attracting youth audiences.

Myself and three students are working on a marketing project with NTW and a key area we are looking at is the role of theatre audiences in the NTW Community.
From being part of the NTW Community, we've noticed that the community is mainly made
up of professionals working in the creative arts and theatre industry in and around Wales. This is great as an industry network, wherein you can connect with colleagues and like minded souls on theatre productions and share skills, experiences… Continue

I join the throng of early morning commuters as they make their way between Shrewsbury and Cardiff. Somewhere between 6 and 9 in the morning are the best hours of the day. The light is different, sharp, grey, blue. The day is unsullied by the lethargy of the late riser. Newspapers sit straight upon the tables, anticipating creases.
