The Want Of Intimacy from OTHNIEL SMITH on Vimeo.

So the time is fast approaching the for the first Assembly I will have been involved in since my appointment as Creative Associate in May. I am beginning to get excited about what will be created between now and the 20th. I am beginning to put a team…

Upon receiving our ration books in exchange for theatre tickets, it was evident the performance of “Flights of Fancy” would transport us back in time. Leaving the ‘departure lounge’ we followed, not the usual route to our seats, but, via a stark black corridor marking past decades and along the way giving a glimpse of final backstage preparations, a route to the stage .From this position the audience was well positioned to admire the beauty of the…

Theatre 2's intimate performance space provided an apt arena for Living Pictures Productions’ Diary of a Madman. As the audience entered in a dim light, a large man lay on his back, asleep or dead I wondered, on a square platform of plain wooden pallets, an origami bird sat on his chest. The atmosphere this created was tangible.

And it wasn’t just…

We have had four days in Ystradgynlais working on the Josef Herman project with the foundation. It has been a great week with some fantastic students. Even the locals in the street have said 'Shwmai Joe Bach' to me...

Hello all,

A thing we do at National Theatre Wales is at the end of the project, we get together to talk about how it went. We call this a 360 meeting, and yesterday, all the team got together to share their experience of #ntwjapan.

For this session yesterday, I made a little video to show the team a little snapshot of my experience, and I thought I'd share it with you all here.

Hope you all enjoy.

The Parc and Dare Theatre at Treorci celebrated its centenary with a truly magnificent Flight of Fancy.  The evening of dance and music was a joy.  Here was a beautiful, traditional theatre for the using, and use it they did.  By placing the audience on stage and thus using the auditorium and circles for the performance meant an innovative use of space.  Even getting to our seats involved walking through corridors used by the artists in various…

I dont read enough new plays........I dont know where to start.

Is there a book club you can join that sends you a couple of new plays a month, you read them and send them back? Or you download it to your e-reader and it expires after a month? If not.....why not? Seems like a great way to get new work out there, and a great way to get people who otherwise would not take the time to find this new writing themselves reading and producing. So I guess the main points im asking for advise…

Dorothy Squires achieved much but it was at a price . Her drive bordered…

Hi everyone - I'm composing a new musical called 'Stalking John Barrowman' set to premiere this Autumn in Cardiff. We are having a vocal workshop on Sunday 19th (short notice, I know!) and I'm looking for a few extra singers (particularly men) to get involved. The workshop is voluntary however could lead to other opportunities in the future. It is between 10am and 4pm (with lunch between 1-2pm) at the Coal Exchange, Cardiff Bay. Email me at plsteed@gmail.com if you would like to come along!…
