Hi there, I am a northern trained actor, so I know about the acting scene up north to get involved with other Actors etc<br />
But is there anywhere near Cardiff that does this? I am a recent graduate with an agent hoping to get involved with other <br />
Actors in the area.<br />
<br />
Thanks very much<br />

<p>I'm part of an emerging artist's group here in NZ, Massive Central Ensemble. We do lots of work building up skills and techniques and playing a LOT of Four Square. I've had one performance opportunity so far with MCE which was a great learning experience. I'm also involved with the development of My Bed, My Universe, a work Massive's commissioned for their 21st year. </p>
<p>I love acting and Massive's physical, playful, personal approach to story telling. I believe that the best theatre comes from our ownn stories, and I love having the chance to explore my own and others' stories.</p> Dramaturgs/Writerstag:community.nationaltheatrewales.org,2011-11-17:3152760:Topic:941962011-11-17T14:23:16.732ZHannah Drakehttps://community.nationaltheatrewales.org/profile/HannahDrake
<p>Hi everyone</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm working on two projects at the moment. The first is an adaptation of an old Norwegian folk tale for the Edinburgh fringe, for which I ideally need a dramaturg to join in devising sessions to help bring it together. The second is a possible project for next Autumn about the military, for which I'd like to find a lead writer to develop a full script.</p>

<p>Hey,</p>
<p>I am currently exploring the art of documenting theatre and whether the essence of a performance can be done justice when it is filmed or photographed. The possibility of recording theatre through different medias has rarely been explored and I'm looking to see if there is a new route that could be taken for certain shows.

<p>Hey,</p>
<p>I am currently exploring the art of documenting theatre and whether the essence of a performance can be done justice when it is filmed or photographed. The possibility of recording theatre through different medias has rarely been explored and I'm looking to see if there is a new route that could be taken for certain shows. I have heard of performances were traces are the show are left behind as a reminder but is a show truly a fleeting moment in time or should there be a way to show the hard work that has been put into a piece? </p>
<p>I was wondering if I could please hear of your experiences, your thoughts, or if you have heard of any shows that have found new and interesting ways to document their work? </p>
<p>Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this topic.</p>
