So I've been here a few weeks now and have met some of you out and about, but wanted to update you on WalesLab, answer some of the questions that I'm being asked, and give a heads up about the first round of applications.

The truly excellent Forest Fringe gang (who produce a free festival at the Forest Cafe in Edinburgh every year) are also presenting a 'flash conference' this year at the venue on 21 August. 

In their words it's a chance 'to ask daring questions and suggest implausible answers. To share a spirit of generosity and a galvanising sense of hope; that despite or perhaps because of the political,…

6:20pm Wednesday evening, I rush into Cardiff Arts Institute only to discover people eating in the space Word 4 Word is supposed to take place.  There are a few poets already waiting & my host Ali Goolyad hasn’t turned up yet.  I rush around with Gem White sorting the room out around the diners and out of the window I see Ali strolling in, the relief!  Now at least I have a host.

The only other stressful moment in the first ever NTW supported, CAI hosted Word 4 Word, was when I…

Hard to believe that it was exactly a year ago yesterday that we completed the run of NTW04  'For Mountain, Sand & Sea', and how did we mark the occasion? We officially launched our new project ADAIN AVION on top of Wales' tallest building in Swansea with a fly pass by the red arrows...way to go!

CuatrOOjos: An Experimedia Project has kicked off to a great start! We (myself and Carolina Vasquez) are working with wonderful artists, performers, designers and filmmakers including PDMono, barracuda, Caja de Carton, Armadillo…

During a Skype meet with Henry Alles, performer/director from Dutch rural arts organisation Peer Group, a conclusion was reached that a visit was in order to understand their specific way of working.  This would make easier the organising of Henry’s trip in October to Rhayader for a phase of R&D. 

So I braced myself for a train, coach, plane, train, car travel combo and set off on my…

We have two shows left that you can book for one for tomorrow 5th July and one for next week on the 12th July both shows have half the tickets sold so you'll need to get in quick and what better way…

Dear all,

Clown Lab are bringing their 5 day comedy, clown and play workshop to Cardiff.

If the word clown brings up conotations of big hair and buckets of glitter then think again, this workshop focusses on helping performers to re-connect with their own innate playful natures so that they begin to find pleasure every moment they are on stage.

Venue:  The Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, Castle Grounds,  Cardiff, CF10 3ER  

Dates: 1st – 5th August…
