Well that was a whirlwind of a week.
I travelled up to Anglesey on Train on Friday morning, 5.05am, with crust in my eyes, to get involved in the WalesLab DIY festival that was taking place on the Saturday and Sunday, hoping that the experience of a free spirited creative experience with creative people would set me up ready to direct my first assembly, rehearsals starting on Monday.
With the issue (Energy) already being selected Monday was the first day the…

‘Anglesey is an island full of energy: people energy, potential energy, wind and nuclear, and it is energy that Assembly will explore.’

Wednesday 15th myself, Matt Ball, Simon and Laura took a trip up the Anglesey to begin to make links with people on the Island in readiness for NTW's month long residency during June. Getting there was an experience, we found it was cheaper to fly than to travel on the train, so we jumped onto a 19 seater plane which was a lot more pleasant than it sounds. As I am responsible for the Anglesey Assembly I was keen to meet both people from the creative community and active community members to…

It seems like I go on about it all the time but I am still amazed that at the journey that I have gone on over the last three years since the fateful (in a good way) day that I walked into an workshop being held in Butetown Youth Pavilion run by NTW for their 10th show The Soul Exchange.

The first De Gabay workshop was held on Saturday 29th Oct at the Wales Millennium Center. the workshop was delivered by Daud, Ali and Ahmed Yusuf under the guidance of Adbul Shayek.

Friday 4th September saw me make my second visit to Prestatyn and work with the Prestatyn Film Team, who are supported by the wonderful Jan Miller and Ryan Hall.
The brief was to make a film over a two day period.
The group is made up of around ten young people from the Prestatyn area. These young people have a genuine passion for making films…

We set ourselves the task of making a film in 36 hours and we almost completed it. I boarded the trian for Prestatyn at the 5.10 thinking about the two days ahead. I'd been prepping for the workshops but couldn't be too specific because, as is often the case, individuals in the group possessed different skills.
From speaking to the (genuinely…
