- A little more about me:
- Freelance theatre maker based in Pontypridd & former Creative Associate National Theatre Wales 2011-13.
From 2006-11 I was Artistic Director of Camden People's Theatre. I've worked as a director, writer, performer, dramaturg, production manager and lectured on theatre history.
Most of the work I make is devised, and have made work for theatres, sites and audio pieces - the form and location dictated by the idea.
I'm really interested in creative processes and how people make work; I'd like to see people being more open about how they make work.

- Pontypridd & Sharjah

JOB: Creative Practitioner for project in Newport School

We want our explorers to know what it takes to traverse the Great Wall, take part in Tai Chi classes, be able to say a few phrases in Mandarin, learn a Beijing Opera fan dance, take part in a tea ceremony, and learn how to make and use a processional dragon.
We want to…

Experiments in co-writing
"Once upon a time, there was a father and son, and a mum."
I wasn’t expecting to write something that began “once upon a time” then again, I wasn’t expecting to write something at all.
I’m not a writer – but over the years I’ve co-written lots of performance text. Some exist on paper, but most exist only in the performers bodies…

Looking for an animator/ theatre maker/ Creative technologist or visual artist (PAID)
As part of the Lead Creative Schools Scheme I'm working with St Paul's Primary in Grangetown, Cardiff. We're currently looking to appoint a Creative Practitioner to work on a Numeracy project around time, distance & speed with a group of Year 1 & 4 students next term.
We want to be messy, fun and active. We might want to ride trikes in the playground, use the gym apparatus in the hall, or build a working plane out of Lego; learning should be through creative experiments and…

Hi, Matt-san!
This is Chinatsu from Underground Airport.
Thanks for adding me as a friend!
I don't know if you remember me from the lecture you did in British Council Tokyo last year, I was there and asked a couple of questions then.
I feel grateful and so thrilled that our company is going to take a part in Waleslab this summer.
Can't wait to see you all there!
Speak to you soon:)
Hi, Matt. Thank you for the info. I came to know about it thru twitter, and that's how I found this community. I'll definitely submit my plan, crossing fingers.
Hi, Matt-san.
It was nice to see you today and thank you for introducing info about The Opportunity of Efficiency. I will check them and other info in this community, and then, I'll consider my next step.
Enjoy your stay in Japan!

Hey Matt!
How nice to see you (in cyber form at least). And yes I'm Bangor-born, Caernarfon-bred. Far from home. Currently have the immense delight of working with Gemma Brockis on the first stages of a thing about (what is known as) the English Revolution. Its v. exciting. How are you?
