I’m Hannah; I look after Community Engagement at Wales Millennium Centre. This, in a nutshell, means I look to engage with those who don’t or rarely engage with the arts. It’s my job to make sure that all we do here is accessible, to get our communities involved and to listen and respond to what they want from their national arts Centre.

Hi Hannah, Vickie here from Pigtown Theatre Company. I've just read your post about interns at the Millennium Centre which looks really interesting. Sadly I live up in North Wales but was hoping that I could link in with you for a bit of advice and support regarding the future work of my company.
We have been delivering work throughout Conwy county in partnership with the council and created projects for Adult services, Young Adults under psychiatric supervision and more recently with Afasic Cymru to deliver speech and language projects and with Contact a Family to offer drama workshops at their family events. We want to move the company forward with a focus on community working and are in the process of becoming a CIC. My partner, Simon, is focused on the theatre making side currently while I have felt more drawn to the community aspect. Mochdre, where we are based, although not diverse in cultural background has a wide social spectrum which we would like to engage with. There is a large elderly community and many young families living on the estate who I think could particularly benefit from exposure to art activities and events.
Any advice or support would be gratefully received. We are both classically trained actors who have a passion for the arts and what it can do for the wider community but have little practical experience of social engagement. Your help would be invaluable.
