Calling all Wild Swimmers, Outdoors Swimmers, those who snear at the heated indoor pool.

There are a couple of artists who are researching this subject and they are looking for people to talk to about it.  

If this is your thing or you know someone who would be happy to chat about it please get in touch and I will put you in contact.

Later on this year I am going to be working with a group of older actors who have never performed before, train them in street clown and take them on tour with an outdoor theatre show.

The piece will be about a group of aliens who have gone on holiday to another dimension and got stuck, with no way to return home.

I am currently looking to collaborate with a designer who has an understanding of circus/outdoor arts to turn a grubby old caravan into an intergallactic space…

The sun is shining, the weather is sweet!

And Taking Flight have arrived to mesmerise us with their fascinating promenade piece 'A Midsummer Night's Dream.'

At 7:30pm at the woodland pavilion at Y Plas Machynlleth, funded through the Noson Allan/ Nights Out Scheme.

Come on down to the woods to play!....…

After a day of relentless rain (I personally changed clothes three times and boots once to prepare the Woodland Pavilion for a potentially soggy night of outdoor theatre) Hijinx humbly arrived and set the stage for 'The Adventures of Sancho Panza.'

The performance was warm and witty and worked so beautifully on our little wooden stage in the woods. The audience…

Today has been a day of Filth, farts, kisses and a lot of laughter.  Great performances are starting to emerge, the design is looking lovely and the music is coming on a treat, Tomorrow we move outside ( surely it can't be as cold as De Gabay?!)  with a double duvet, coconut bra and some space hoppers...so much fun to be had.

Tour dates on www.takingflighttheatre.co.uk spread the word...it'll be a romp!
