WalesLab information

WalesLab was NTW's initiative for supporting emerging artists and new ideas for performance. This is a group and discussion forum for those artists involved in WalesLab or those interested in learning more about the various projects under development.

WalesLab consisted of:

Summercamp:        

A summer camp for up to twenty theatre makers and artists of varied experience to share ideas, learn form each other and stimulate new collaborations and projects (watch the video below to find out more).

WalesLab projects -

Small groups working for around 1-2 weeks based somewhere in Wales.

Germinate:    Three times a year small groups of artists will be offered the opportunity to spend around two weeks somewhere in Wales developing an idea or project which they have already begun working on, and will share their work with a local audience. There will be three Germinate projects a year, one of which will have an international element.

WalesLab is no longer open for new submissions. Have a look at the 'Your Work' page on the NTW website to find out about how to share your ideas with the company.

We've just added more information to our website about the DIY Festival taking place on Anglesey between the 14th and 16th June. Have a look here.

There's also a link to register.

Hi Everyone,

Ive just written a blog on the DIY Festival. Still loads of information to come but in the meantime you can have a look here

We really want to hear from you about what how you think it could develop. Do get in touch with ideas and thoughts.

Hi Franklyn

That's a really interesting question. We've actually had some chats in the office about this sort of advice/resource being available through WalesLab pages on the website. I wonder if that would be helpful or whether you are talking more about 1-2-1 coaching or training? Could you expand?

Would be great to hear more from anyone who is interested or has ideas about what might be useful to them/others on this.

Hiya folks

Hope you're all well and still inspiring one another. I am putting this out to everyone as i need some advice, i'm going to be tight lipped for now but i am creating a new theatre company and i would like to know from you guys what are the best initial steps forward. I have to be honest the idea of setting up a business terrifies me as i am an Actor with a Drama degree, not a businessman.

So please one and all could you offer me some advice and encouragement on what are the best steps forward. I've got a couple of pieces in the pipeline so there is material there. I just need some wisdom and encouragement, thank you.

There's also a blog about it on Volcano's blogspot here http://volcano229.blogspot.co.uk/

Congratulations on your appointment Simon.  Certainly myself, Wella and Laila would love to discuss how we might develop our Wales Lab initiative OUR MOTHERS WERE SISTERS for performance in Butetown and beyond.  (see blog)

Hi Everyone,

Im Simon and I'm the new Creative Associate for WalesLab. I'll be working alongside Matt for the next couple of months during the run up to the company's residency on Anglesey. After that I'll be focusing on how we develop WalesLab over the next two years. I'm particularly interested in looking at what continued support we can offer to groups after their initial involvement in WalesLab.

Im sure you will have ideas about what that might be, whether you have been involved in WalesLab yet or not. I'd really like to hear your thoughts about this or any other area of development you think I should be looking at.

In the meantime, Summercamp 2013 is open for applications...
