an update on a week's intensive devising on (playing) the maids in Ceredigion, with The Llanarth Group, Theatre P'Yut (South Korea/Singapore) and Gaitkrash (Ireland) now on http://kaiteoreilly.wordpress.com/2013/08/26/diary-of-a-collaboration-day-2/

Saturday 31st August and Sunday 1st September.  We need a lead actor for a short student film, gender irrelevant.  It would be handy if you're 40+ but we're not fussy due to proximity of shooting dates.  Please contact me at jonahj@hotmail.co.uk if you can help.

And so it begins…The first day of Nash. Memories are already flooding back from last year, but the energy of dead born grow has already established itself as a dynamic, physical piece of staged theatre. This is quite a contrast to the site-specific, promenade theatre. I’ve already been pushed physically and that was just in the warm up. New ideas have already been born and are growing in our minds. It’s all very exciting! Today, we were given the freedom to choose and select our own costumes…

I've just started an eight day r&d project in west Wales with collaborators from South Korea, Singapore, Ireland, US and Wales: (Playing) The Maids with The Llanarth Group (Wales), Gaitkrash (Cork) and Theatre P'Yut (Seoul). It's five performers, one cellist, one music artist, one director, and one dramaturg (me). You can follow our progress on my blog www.kaiteoreilly.wordpress.com

Basically I've started thinking about ways to output work in Cardiff, and, having been in a couple of different cities recently and seen their "vibe", I've been thinking there is a gap in Cardiff for a collective performance night for theatre, comedy, music and whatever is going really. Scratch that Itch kind of achieves this, but is mainly Swansea based, and basically I just want to see a bit more interaction between all the arts discipline and a ground level. We all have dedicated nights…
