Slung low visit to Alcoa factory

I went to visit the ex-Alcoa aluminium factory with Alan Lane and Ben Eaton from Slung low theatre company.

We wandered through this gargantuan spaces, listening to the fascinating stories of Martin Stephens, who was part of the Alcoa closing team and had, before us and for several months, ambled through the abandoned factory, meeting his sparse security guard colleagues for impressive lunch and tea parties he would cook… Continue

NTW members: live in Trafalgar Square???

Anyone out there into a bit of high profile exhibitionism - sorry, live public art / performance? Got a cause to promote? Or a show?



Heard of the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square?



I'm currently helping Artichoke (the producing company behind the Sultan's Elephant and Liverpool's Spider) to raise the profile in Wales of Anthony Gormley's One & Other project which they are also producing.



If you've not picked up on it yet here's what it's all… Continue

Looking for something different to do tonight? Go and see "The Body Shop"...

Hello!

I went to see this show on Thursday and it was very funny and disconcerting! It's a rare opportunity to see a "site specific" performance in Cardiff, so definitely worth a look!

Details are here: http://www.theatre-wales.co.uk/news/newsdetail.asp?newsID=3159

If you can't get through on the phone, just turn up at 7.25pm and you should get in on the door!

Have a good weekend,

Neil.

This is a rather belated post about a social media powered round-the-world charity fundraising trip I’m planning called 7 Wonders in 7 Days.



I’m blogging about it here because John McGrath urged me too! Sorry it’s taken so long, John.



I know John from his days as chairman of the board of Performing Arts Network and Development Agency (PANDA) of which I’m… Continue

Looking for assessors for the Total Theatre Awards at the Edinburgh Fringe 6th-19th August

The Total Theatre Awards celebrate the best in physical/visual and innovative theatre at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The process consists of a series of conversations between critics, academics, presenters and artists that are unique in the world. I would love some representation from Wales.

Caravans and Welsh Holidays



I came upon this holiday snap in my uncle's facebook account. Since moving back to Wales, the Paskells have all befriended me on Facebook and welcomed me back to the bosom of my hometown... well, they live in Penarth, but I guess that's close enough to Cardiff...



It made me think of Marc Rees' recent road trip around the Welsh coast and his blog on here. How tied we all are as Welsh families to the sea and to the caravan spots that… Continue

Hundreds of them. Landscape is HOT! I went to panels about Walking, Building Sites and Art in Forests! It was challenging and inspiring to hear such a range of thinking and discussion as we develop our 'Theatre Map of Wales'. Some of the students at Aberystwyth were doing… Continue
