NATIONAL THEATRE WALES and PeerGrouP

ARTIST DEVELOPMENT RESIDENCY 

National Theatre Wales are partnering with one of The Netherlands' leading theatre companies working in site-specific theatre: PeerGrouP. Together we will be offering a 5-day artist development residency looking at the approach, in-depth methodologies and ethos of this forward-thinking company. Artists will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in PeerGrouP’s unique practice and find ways to apply it to their own work. PeerGrouP say: "Instead of focusing on what to make in situ, we focus on how to make in situ. How does an artist develop a creative/artistic process, which really connects to and is specific for the site where you're working? These workshops are a way to learn to look at a location with new eyes, but also at your own way of creating work."  We are looking for 8 artists from Wales, working in any discipline with a performance element to their practice, to join PeerGrouP in Powys between 13th and 16th November. Your travel to and from the residency will be provided as well as accommodation for the duration.

To apply please send an expression of interest (text or video link) outlining: Who you are What you do Why you would like to be involved Links to where we can find your work online Email Gavin Porter by 12 noon on 27 September.

Thank you to everyone who took part in WSD and to Simon and John for coming along to meet some of our companies from FOUR in The Marketplace.

We tested our project The Walking Trust at World Stage Design 2013 on Friday. Despite the rain, it was a fun afternoon telling people about the project, and we had a lot of interest from fellow theatre makers and members of the public alike. It was particularly exciting to be promoting the project in an international setting. Special thanks to the WSD team for the loan of a marketplace cart for the afternoon. We now have around 50 people from across the world in possession of our special Walking Trust postcards, and we're looking forward to receiving their responses in the post or by email. We also premiered the high-tech version of the project through our new app, created by Ben Gwalchmai, which allows participants to listen to the walking prompts on their phones or ipods. We'd love for more people to test out our app and let us know what you think - instructions for downloading it are below, along with a few pictures from the day.

1. Download the AppFurnace app

2. Load the app then add The Walking Trust app test by URL, this URL: http://the.appfurnace.com/test/EF9HB/

3. Thereafter, select your script and start walking.

Hello Waleslab people!

We'd like to invite you to join us at WSD2013 on Friday (13th Sept) to help test out our Waleslab project The Walking Trust. We'll be manning a market stall in or around the foyer at RWCMD between 2.30 & 6pm, and we'd love to see you.

The concept is simple - you select an envelope containing a set of postcards, and you go for a walk with them. The cards will give you provocations  - perhaps an image, perhaps a poem, perhaps a set of instructions. You respond to the provocation in whatever way you choose, and you can also document your responses to add to our database of Walks. Your walk can be as long or as short as you'd like it to be. We have a low-tech version with physical cards, and also a brand new app for you to try out. 

Hope to see you there!

Artists and Writers...

We think it's about time we give our Guidelines for Artists a little revamp!

This is where we outline how we want to work and strike up conversation with the artistic community of Wales. It's really important that you have an opportunity to tell us how you think we should do this. And this is it!

Have a look at the link and feel free to feedback your thoughts to me. Questions would be just as helpful as statements!

Please get your thoughts to me before 20th Sep so we can make any changes and roll it out before Oct.

Hi Kelly - great news about the Ideastap shortlisting. We'll keep our fingers crossed!sx

Hey Waleslab,

I just found out that I have been shortlisted for the Ideastap Innovators Fund with the project that WalesLab kindly helped me get started a few months ago. I wouldn't have applied for the Ideastap fund if Waleslab didn't give me the confidence, time and support to find out what my idea really was before just writing it off. I am very thankful to WalesLab and would suggest anyone apply :)
