Saturday Morning - Take a Deep Breath

Okay, so if there's a mid point in our year-long theatre map, this is probably it. For me at least. I guess in theory half way through rehearsals of Love Steals us would be the mid point of 13 shows - or half way through the run.... but it certainly won't feel like a moment to pause and reflect. So I am officially designating today, Saturday 28 August and John McGrath's personal half-way point in the launch year programme of National Theatre Wales.

I'm not going to do a review of… Continue

Time to save a theatre

Up here on the North Pembrokeshire coast, there's not much in the way of theatre. And the one theatre we do have, Pembrokeshire County Council is intent on closing - by way of council cuts. Theatr Gwaun in Fishguard was (from the 1920s) a cinema, and still is - but from the 1990s it was reconfigured with stage and lighting for theatre and musical events. Closing the theatre would not only deprive the North Pembrokeshire community of an important entertainment venue, but one which can bring the… Continue

NTW06 Brecon Assembly

There was something decidedly odd about the build-up to National Theatre Wales’ Assembly. Rumours flew around town claiming that somebody had coated Theatr Bycheiniog’s stage with real turf. Posts on the NTW community website hinted that they’d be traditional Ghurkha dancing alongside hot-off-the-press scriptwriting and aerial performance, bringing Brecon’s artistic and cultural variety together.… Continue

Great Opportunity for Choreographers

2011 Tanja Liedtke Fellowship. The Fellowship is being offered by the Tanja Liedtke Foundation, by competitive selection, to a European dancer/choreographer between the ages of 20 and 35.

The 2009 Tanja Liedtke Fellowship saw Australian dancer/choreographer Antony Hamilton spend 7 weeks in Berlin where he developed a new work of his own, worked (and networked) with German based artists, and experienced just about everything Berlin had to offer artistically and culturally. The work that… Continue

Follow up to NTW03 Assembly: Is Cardiff a young city?

Just make one brief visit to Cardiff’s page and Wikipedia will tell you a lot about the age of our city. Look a bit harder and the timeframes become extremely clear. In infancy Cardiff was the site of a fort, where Common Era men and women spent their days fashioning and swapping coins (or so archaeologists would have us believe). The settlement…
