<p>Hi everyone! We are so excited about the amount of interest in Word4Word! Organisation is now being taken over by National Theatre Wales’ TEAM programme and me and Anna Poole will be taking over the organisation with Mark Blayney Stuart for the next event.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We’ve been reading your comments and think that a theme is a great idea!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>To kick off the next event and get the creative juices flowing the first theme will be Flight. So the sky won’t be too much of a limit…! We encourage you to interpret the theme in whatever way you like.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The people below are the list we have so far. There are five spaces left. If you would like to get involved please email <a target="_blank" href="mailto:word4word@nationaltheatrewales.org">word4word@nationaltheatrewales.org</a> This will be our point of contact from now on – and the sole way to register interest to avoid confusions. If you are on the list please could you email us to confirm your attendance so that we can add you to the mailing list. We appreciate your cooperation as the organisation changes over.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Will Ford</p>
<p>Fritz O’Skennick</p>
<p>Emily</p>
<p>Mark Blayney</p>
<p>Steven Kenward</p>
<p>Jack Pascoe</p>
<p>Carmen Medway Stevens</p>
<p>Kit Lambert</p>
<p>Frank Thomas</p>
<p>Thea Lodwick</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We would like to add that we are opening up this event to include all type of words and create a diverse platform for spoken creativity – and would welcome all poetry, performance poetry, spoken word, lyrics, micro-fiction, chunks of fiction, monologues, dialogues – anything you would like to present in five minutes. We’re open to your interpretation so get in touch!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you have written something you would prefer someone else to read - for example a monologue – then we encourage you to use the community to link up with an actor and we can provide a space for you to meet and run through before the event on the 15th. If you need any more help with this process or a second pair of eyes we will be available. Don’t hesitate to get in touch.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>There will be a prize pot for first, second and third place and a chance to headline at the next event for the winner. We have scrapped the entrance fee as well so no excuse not to get involved or come along! Headlines to be announced – so keep your ears to the ground.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>There will be photography and filming on the night for the National Theatre Wales community and your participation is taken as agreement to being filmed and your image used for NTW community publicity. If you are unhappy about this, please discuss with us in advance of the night.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So spread the <i>word</i> – far and wide – and hope to see you all there!</p>
<p>Anna, Nat and Mark</p>

<p>How does this develop? What would people like to see happen? How does this grow on a national level?</p>
<p>Answers were positive and interesting – people definitely wanted to see a night like this again. There was mention of bringing in guest performers and poets. Having themed nights. Transferring this to a national scale through digital links between other Word 4 Word events across the country via Skype or other media/ digital links. Taking the event on a tour around the country. The suggestions were great and have stimulated a lot of thinking and inspiration within me and within many of the poets and audience members alike. </p>
<p>What is the prospect for an event like Word 4 Word and how do we keep the momentum going?</p>
What are your opinions, you may or may not have been at the event, your thoughts & ideas would be appreciated………<a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2868215186?profile=original"><br/></a>
