G39 continues its curatorial residency at National Theatre Wales with a group exhibition of new work by three promising young artists.

Update. Wardrobe Diaries on the road in West, North and Mid Wales, with a review from Theatre Wales.

Our arrival at Pontardawe Arts Centre was a test of Bridie, Dai and my forward planning of how we tour our complicated set structure. It took all day and was only just ready in time for our first workshops with local circus company Organised Kaos which was a very busy, funny and energetic session at a lovely venue with very keen staff.

Next was an overnight jaunt up the west coast of Wales to Harlech. It’s such a privilege to be… Continue
