    Hi Anna I am an Arts Officer in Bridgend thought you might be interested in the project below ?
    Thanks
    Are you aged 16 – 25? Could you create a must-read review of theatre or music? Co-ordinated by Bridgend County Borough Council’s Arts and Community Development, the Young Critics’ Scheme aims to develop and showcase the critical voices of young people and encourage them to think critically about the theatrical or musical productions they have seen.

    Organised in partnership with the National Theatre of Wales and Academi, one of the National Theatre Wales’ new critics and ex-editor of Buzz magazine, Ben Bryant, will mentor and run workshop sessions to encourage participants to write and explore the role of the art critic, coming up with different ways to respond to theatre and live art including using Face Book, Vimeo and Twitter.

    Throughout the coming months, the young critics will be encouraged to write a number of theatrical and musical reviews, beginning with a review of the National Theatre’s Wales production of ‘Love Steals us from Loneliness’ by Gary Owen, which will be performed in Hobos, Bridgend in October.

    To get involved in this exciting new project, please call Bridgend County Borough Council’s Arts Project officer Guy O’Donnell, on (01656) 642727, or email: arts@bridgend.gov.uk.

  • Franklyn Jacks

    Hi Anna, just to let you know i am planning something within the next few weeks. I am keeping a lid on things at the moment, but things should be up and running shortly and i was just wondering if i could discuss this with you at a later date? I know this may sound a little vague at the moment but after the next week or so things will become more clear. Would it be possible for me to send you a personal message within the next few weeks as i'd like to tell you what i am planning and i'd like your advice and your help? If you have a twitter and a facebook page, please keep checking over the coming weeks. Thankyou.

    Hey Anna, 

    Very brilliant to meet you also. Saturday went really well, feedback has been really positive. Sunday was a good get out too, plenty of laughs and more food! You don't know what you've done though...now I have a TEAM hoodie try stopping me from meddling in NTW business. No problem on the Rhayader loop - you're in.

    Take care,

    Al

    Hi Anna,

    thanks for the lovely welcome and the kind words about the work I did for SOTS. I really wish I could have been there to see it come to life.

    Take care,

    Geoff.

    Hi Anna,
    Really hope Paralell Lines has been and is continuing to be awesome. I'm really hoping to get there to see it later this week.
    Also, crossing fingers that I'm back from rehearsals in time to get to the Silly Kings TEAM night.
    But let's meet up soon! First week of December? What's your fairy looking like?

  • Allan Williams

    Hello Anna,

    Thank you for the plug for Empty Theatre it went very well  I'm glad to say.

    We also met Khethi who was kind enough to come along and support.

    Allan.

  • Emma MacNab

    Fab. Well maybe Friday? We could meet in Barkers and get a detox smoothie after my inevitable binge eating in the week before shows. That givves a few days after performance to get my head back into Skill Swap mode. If not then Thursday before lunch? X
  • Allan Williams

    Hello Anna,

    Glad Khethi enjoyed it. Next production for Loose Cannons will be March 2014 over the border in Ellesmere Port as part of their Arts Festival, again performing our own work.

    By the way my new email address is williamsallan64@gmail.com

    Allan.

  • Siwan Humphreys

    Hi Anna,

    Tried to email a response to the Team email address in your message re: new project but the email didn't seem to work? Perhaps a slight error in address or my server being useless- team@nationaltheatrewales.org 
    Is there a better way for me to show my interest in being part of your project?

    Hope the urban mermaid is keeping you busy!

  • Dylan JR

    Hi Anna; I am interested in contributing as a writer to the e-mail I received from TEAM today but was unable to use the link provided . I therefore  thought I'd e-mail you directly to express my interest. I will also speak to Kelly (hopefully over the weekend if she's around) Good luck to you both with "The Drowned Girl" .

    Cheers,

    Dylan
