<p><b>A bit about the Company:</b> We are a new theatre company based in Wales. A pandoras box of actors, dancers, puppeteers, clowns and musicians; we make work that is funny, affecting, devastating, charming and raucously entertaining. We have had several successful runs at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2013, 2014 and 2015 with great 5* reviews for our 2 current shows The Greatest Liar in all the World and The Very Grey Matter of Edward Blank. We were awarded the Blysh Commission by WMC in 2014 and at the 2015 Edinburgh Fringe Festival we were awarded the ThreeWeeks Editors Award for our "consistently outstanding" work.</p>
<p></p>
<p><b>About the Workshop:</b> The workshop is a chance for you to meet the company and for us to meet you. We’ll look at the way which we make our shows and our devising process. We will also explore elements of clowning, physical theatre and puppetry which we use extensively in our work. The workshop will run from 3pm to 5pm on Tuesday 24th November. Tickets are £15 and are available from Chapter in person, over the phone by calling 029 2030 4400 or book online here:</p>

<p><b>Edward Blank is extraordinary. </b><br/> <br/>An exceptional literary talent and ghost writer, Edward Blank has the ability to change Mills and Boon into James Joyce before breakfast. His radical rewrites and astounding editing means that demand for his work is so great his letterbox clatters non-stop with tapes for transcription and Edward never leaves the solitude of his tiny magnolia flat.</p>
<p>But Edward is far from alone. Emerging from his fractured conscience is an anarchic family of imagined characters, each with a hook in Edward's life that pulls him deeper into fantasy. Each day the circus begins anew and Edward seems happy in his ordinary-extraordinary existence until, one day, a voice on an audio tape changes everything.</p>
<p>Following the 5-star success of The Greatest Liar in all the World, Familia de la Noche create a hilarious, heart-breaking story of madness and lost love using their signature style of dark comedy, clowning, live music and storytelling.</p>Edinburgh Festival Accommodation Availabletag:community.nationaltheatrewales.org,2015-06-04:3152760:BlogPost:2281302015-06-04T10:52:53.000ZBecca Coxhttps://community.nationaltheatrewales.org/profile/BeccaCox

<p> </p>
<p>About the project: Taking inspiration from recent events in Chile and New Zealand and from the Gresford mining disaster of 1934 The Belly of the Whale will explore what happens when the human mind is left to ponder its last moments. Do you replay the best moment of your life over and over? Do you look for forgiveness? Do you seek justice? Do you try to find hope in the hopeless? Using reported speech and documents from the 1934 disaster as well as elements of Welsh mythology and folk tales, The Belly of the Whale will contrast grim reality with illusions of imagination.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We have a brilliant team of award winning artists working on the project and are looking for 2 interns to join us. You will be involved in assisting the director, choreographer and producer, helping us put together our marketing material, recording our rehearsals, blogging and contributing creatively to rehearsals.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Rehearsals run from the 29<sup>th</sup> August to the 16<sup>th</sup> September in Swansea, you need to be available for at least 7 days during this period and you will need to be available for our work in progress showing on the 16<sup>th</sup> September. We aren’t able to offer any payment for these positions but it is a great opportunity to work with an up and coming theatre company.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you are interested in a career as a performer, director, producer or arts manager then send your CV and a covering letter letting us know why you’d like to be involved to Becca@cilgwyntheatrecompany.co.uk</p>
