Producers’ Place #3

 

If you are working in the arts and making things happen (whatever your job title), the Producers' Place network and its events will be of interest to you...

 

What are producers doing in relation to creating a sense of place through cultural activity? How is the producer working with artists where art, regeneration and the environment interact? How are producers sparking dialogue across communities and igniting new strategies for energising struggling urban areas where Mary Portas’ magic wand has failed to spark transformation?

 

The next Producers’ Place session will take place on Monday 30 June in Swansea at Volcano’s 229 High Street venue from 7pm-9pm

 

At this session, Producers’ Place will be hosting a discussion between Seth Honnor (http://kaleider.com/) and Paul Davies (http://www.volcanotheatre.co.uk/) where they will talk about how the multi-faceted role of the producer can shade into that of a cultural activist, future thinker and radical entrepreneur.

 

Seth describes himself as liking “to play a lot and make stuff” and as “being one, several or all of the following: an artist, designer, choreographer (not a real one), theatre maker, sportsman (#captseth), teacher, musician, facilitator, consultant, husband, dad.” He is the Artistic Director of Kaleider based in Exeter and Director of online performance network albow. He is an Honorary Fellow at University of Exeter and on the Steering Board for the AHRC funded REACT Hub which is a collaboration between Universities of Cardiff, Bristol, West of England, Bath, Exeter and Watershed. He was the founding Director of Theatre Bristol stepping down after 6 years in April 2010 to make work as an artist again.

 

Paul is a writer, performer, deviser and director who holds a doctorate in Politics and a black belt in karate. He is, with Fern Smith, one of the founder members of Volcano and is now its Artistic Director. He has performed in many Volcano shows, written three plays for the company and directed or devised a number of others. He has directed work in Montreal and Croatia and taught in various academies around the world.

 

Producers’ Place is a new network for producers in Wales. The network aims to strengthen links between people who self-identify as producers in the arts (whether they have that job title or not) – to foster dialogue, share ideas and offer practical support to participants.

 

This event has been made possible through support from Arts Council Wales.

This is a free but ticketed event. Please book here to attend:

Refreshments will be available at the event. We look forward to seeing you there.

I am running this workshop for artists, performers, researchers, writers in rural West Wales, exploring the relationships between bodies and environments and facilitating a collaborative context for creating independent works:

hinterlands 3

creative investigations of bodies and environments

September 12 - 15th 2014

created and led by Ailsa Richardson

penpynfarch creative retreat centre

the combination of this workshop and the setting of Penpynfarch provides an opportunity to refresh creative batteries and investigate creative practice – to tune in, slow down, play and activate as necessary.

we will be investigating the ‘hinterlands’ where bodies intersect with their surrounding environments and what we create in/at this intersection.

For more information about the workshop see http://www.ailsarichardson.com/professional/ - pro2

Read about Ailsa’s background and training  here and a booking form is available via dropbox or from ailsajr@btinternet.com

Hi all, been collaborating on a one woman show that I'll be trying out here next Friday. Come along if you're in the area. We're keen to develop it further and it's a great evening out if the last scratch night is anything to go by.

Hi all,

Anyone going to Edinburgh this year? We've got a room free in our flat sharing with Theatre Company Familia de la Noche and Comedy act Robin and Partridge. It's stumbling distance from the Pleasance Courtyard (2 mins), very reasonable rent and our stage manager is a wizard with potatoes. Message me if you're interested.

Two great interactive performances on Thursday and Sunday this week as part of International Performance Festival Cardiff. If you've ever craved something a bit more authentically live and genuinely interactive come along and see one of these -  they're the closest to 'stand-up' drama or post/punk theatre I've ever seen:

There's also a rare screening of the TV documentary of Brith Gof's Gododdin project with a Q&A with Mike Pearson and guests tomorrow night at Chapter http://www.chapter.org/node/5472. Highly recommended to all those with an interest in experimental theatre / theatre in Wales / site-specific theatre and how we got where we are today....
