CASTING:

Sherman Cymru are looking for three performers for our production of The Elves And The Shoemakers, directed by James Williams

One male actor
One female actor
One musician

The actors need to be Welsh speaking, aged 30+, used to working physically and ideally have experience of working with puppets. 

Although not essential, it would be good to meet actors with musical skills or a strong singing voice.  Performers need to be based in Cardiff.  For the South Wales tour, performers will be required to assist with get-ins and get-outs. 

It’s going to be a long, cold Christmas for the old shoemakers. There’s no bread in the breadbin, no wood for the fire and no money to buy each other presents. But two little elves have other ideas – and there’s still one last piece of leather to make one more pair of shoes. With just the right amount of elf magic things are about to change for the better.

Dates:
Rehearsals start - Monday 24 October
First performance - Thursday 17 November
South Wales tour - Thursday 17 November to Saturday 10 December
Weston Studio, Wales Millennium Centre - Tuesday 13 - Saturday 31 December

Auditions will be held in Cardiff on Wednesday 31 August and Thursday 1 September

Please send your CV to kate.perridge@shermancymru.co.uk

(Please note that Kate will be away until Mon 8 Aug)

Congratulations to Shock n Awe.  I’m looking forward to seeing the compressed Muscle being flexed in Edinburgh.

Now, to ramp up the excitement, let me tell you where Notional Theatre is at.

I’ve just got in from rehearsals for Fragments of Ash which is on at the Bute Theatre next Tuesday and Wednesday (26^th & 27^th) at 9pm as part of the Cardiff Festival Fringe. Those two performances are sneak-previews for a 3 week run on the Edinburgh Festival Fringe: August 5^th to 27^th at Venue 13.

Fragments of Ash has evolved from the work-in-progress performance in Monmouth earlier this year: ‘...the excellence and the beauty of the piece is very strong.’ (Michael Kelligan, Theatre Wales). ‘...an absolutely brilliant new play’ (Chris Ryde, Savoy Theatre). Now the play is revealing itself in surprising detail.

If you are off to Edinburgh this year we hope to see you up there. If not we’d be proud to have you in the audience next week.

Fragments of Ash work was developed with a small project grant from the ACW. For Edinburgh, Notional Theatre has a co-production partnership with Murder on the Menu. And now, with guidance from Nick Davies, the ACW have awarded us £28,000, one of the biggest grants of the past few years. We are planning two tours – Autumn 2011 and Spring 2012 - in association with Hijinx Theatre.  

For the creative team, writer/director (me), composer/musical director Gareth Wyn Griffiths and choreographer Kylie Ann Smith, the funding is a huge vote of confidence. Our cast is truly remarkable: Jordan Bernarde, Clêr Stephens, Robert Harper, Lisa Zahra, Janine Cooper-Marshall and the voice over of BBC Wales’ Jamie Owen.

To get to this point many many people have held our hands in ways practical, financial and emotional: they are all named in the show’s (free) programme.

 Fragments of Ash is a political drama about mothers and war that blends physical and narrative theatre to a stunning original score. Do come and see it if you possibly can.

Casting for The Belly of the Whale

Cilgwyn are looking for a male performer to take part in R&D for our latest project The Belly of the Whale funded by the Arts Council of Wales.

Taking inspiration from recent events in Chile and New Zealand and from the Gresford mining disaster of 1934 The Belly of the Whale will explore what happens when the human mind is left to ponder its last moments. Do you replay the best moment of your life over and over? Do you look for forgiveness? Do you seek justice? Do you try to find hope in the hopeless? Using reported speech and documents from the 1934 disaster as well as elements of Welsh mythology and folk tales, The Belly of the Whale will contrast grim reality with illusions of imagination.

We have a brilliant team of award winning artists working on the project and are looking for an experienced deviser and physical performer to join us. You need to be available from the 29^th August to the 16^th September for rehearsals in Swansea. The rehearsal period will lead up to a work in progress showing for local people, artists and our funders.

Our funding has been signed off by Arts Council Wales so this job is paid.

If you’d like to apply, please send your CV, Headshot and Covering letter to Becca@cilgwyntheatrecompany.co.uk
