#ntwbackstage - training

This week the NTW production team, along with our friends at Theatr Gen, West Ent, Telgwen and some of our regular freelancers have been on an IPAF training course at Nationwide Platforms. The training was to enable us to use and drive Scissor lift platforms and mobile boom platforms.

We all passed thankfully! Look at me driving this one and my concentration face...

It was a good day and I hope to be putting my training to use at some point with our Year 5…

#ntwbackstage - Farewell to Alfie

This week we say goodbye to the cast and SM team of Crouch Touch Pause Engage as they continue on the tour in ENGLAND!

We have 2 more shows in Bridgend tomorrow - there was a brilliant Post Show Discussion last night, which included Max Stafford-Clark, Robin Soans and Alfie himself.

Thanks all - Good luck on the tour!

A day in the life of the Production Department

Today has involved:

two site visits (needing the use of a torch in one),

a rehearsal venue visit,

getting a bit lost in the car,

a production meeting,

hotel bookings,

dropbox joy and a lot of emails...

Still smiling though! Stay tuned for next weeks antics.

Year 4 and beyond...

As I approach the end of my first week here at NTW, I thought I would say hello and introduce myself.

I've just started as Production Coordinator in the office and will be assisting the Production Department in many ways over the coming months to prepare appropriately for each production in Year 4. They are easing me in gently though...

I have been a Company Stage Manager many times for NTW - so walking into the office is not a new thing, but with this new hat…
