I think I'm in love.

I'm not quite sure how to say this... Aw! Bugger it! He who dares. I think I've fallen for Mike, when I see him my heart skips a beat I start to sweat and get moist in areas I never thought could get moist. He makes me smile. I can't help acting like a child around him though, can anyone help me and give me some advice? Last time I cruelly mocked his feet, I said they reminded me of hobbits and they were disgusting. Curse my damned mouth.! What I couldn't say is that I wanted to Cuddle up to… Continue

Childs Play with NTW on The Beach in Prestatyn

When was the last time you went to the beach? The last time you played a game? Acted like a child? ... escaped the chaos of everyday life, the mess and disorganisation that is the reality of our worlds and had good old childish fun? With a narrative that makes you feel you are part of something much deeper and bigger then yourself ... a focus on 'we' not 'I' ... The Beach hits home!

For me I did this last night, played games on a beach in Prestatyn, and lost myself in the production.… Continue

How's it going?

'What does a Welsh person sound like?'

(Silence)

'How do I know?!'

So after the initial reaction to the huge question, I began to think about the details of my utter cluelessness and realised it wasn't through a lack of knowledge that I couldn't answer this question: it was because there was a full warehouse in my brain with a zillion different answers and I couldn't fathom where the beginning…

Hometown and Far Away

A week of retraced journeys. First as I set off for Manchester to catch the last couple of days of Contacting the World – a wonderful initiative which brings together 12 companies of young performers from across the world in a year-long exchange of ideas, inspiration and ways of making theatre. It all culminates in a week long festival at Contact, Manchester, where I was Artistic Director before coming… Continue
