Thanks to Sylvie for the invite to see 'White Goods' in Swansea at the weekend. The play was being shown as part of Refugee Week and looked at homelessness and the refugee experience. It was great to see other TEAM members and their families there too. See you all again soon.

Barmouth Blog

Last night, a walk across Barmouth railway bridge yiedled this stunning 'red sky at night' view. Earlier there was rain and rainbows, but today, for Monday of this intensive rehearsal week, with all of the participating artists working in nooks and crannies throughout this seaside town, the sun obliged. Marc's plan for his 'performance tour' of the town is a wonder to listen to, with semaphore, French sailors, fruit stands, Rita Hayworth, lilo… Continue

Day 101 - Ianto Jones Shrine - The Bay, Cardiff

There is always something strangely compelling about road side shrines. Something deeply personal passes between the mourners and the departed when they leave floral tributes and cards at the scene of an accident, and yet there is something overtly public about the act. An open demonstration of grief and emotion that is rare in british society, or at least in my own experience. The flowers and gifts stand in for an action that cannot be witnessed by the uniformed passer by and can only… Continue

Siamber Wen @ Chapter- don't miss it tonight!

I went to see Human Beast: Siamber Wen last night Chapter and was delighted to find such an exciting piece.

A promenade perfromance, directed by Joe Wild, with a team of 5 artists from a range of disciplines the piece is contemporary, sexy and haunting. Rooted in Welsh folk song, sliced with digital technology, sung into life: a dark story of incest and family. There is poetry, a may pole, a dance of carrion crows, and love-making of the darkest kind- don't miss…
