Bring on Barmouth Assembly

Bore da!

After a more than hearty breakfast overlooking the point where mountains meet sea, I'm ready for the busy run-up to the fourth assembly.

Rehearsals at the Bath House last night were simply amazing. I've heard rich soulful singing, listened to some incredible Barmouth-centric lyrics and seen the early stages of the video-game film. Can't wait for the discussions and guests, where the whole thing will come together... I'm fully confident that my first assembly will be a good… Continue

Casting for NTW05 The Beach

Last week we had three casting sessions to try and find two actors for our 5th production, THE BEACH.

We saw actors in separate sessions in Prestatyn, Cardiff and London. Leading the session were Bethan Marlow (one of the three artists who is making THE BEACH), Sam Jones (our casting director), Lucy Taylor (Sam's assistant) and me. We saw actors in small groups and asked each actor to bring a game with them to share.

By Friday I had pretended to…

My first ever blog!

Hello everyone.

I feel somewhat of a dinosaur given that this is my first ever blog. I'm not one for embracing technology too easily, always thinking it's beyond me and then once I try it, realizing its not so bad after all. So this is my try-out, but what to put in it?

There's been a lot to think about since meeting some of the artists involved in Soul Exchange on Saturday in Manchester. Lots of words and pictures in my head but how it will all…

Death and the Monster - Chapter Arts Centre 25th June 2010

For their eagerly awaited 2nd production "Inky Quill productions" found themselves in the impressive surroundings of the Chapter Arts Centre, Cardiff.

Local comic Dan Mitchell set the tone with a short set which got a packed audience laughing constantly. Making it clear that he wasn't the play he won the crowd over with strong material from his life, " Specileptic" perfectly summing up his eye-sight and medical…

Share your ideas..

"We are compelled to share our ideas; that is how they come to life. And when we share ideas they multiply and grow, forming a powerfully reinforcing circle. You are not defined

simply by what you own. You are also what you share."

I think it's time for me to start to…

For Mountain, Sand and Sea | Review

Sooo... how good was For Mountain Sand And Sea? Even though we very nearly didn't make it to Barmouth thanks to our crazy bus driver, it was worth the 9 hour excursion. I done wrote some words on it here:

I was supposed to write this review on the drive back, but instead we performed a tribute to the show by drinking a few bottles of rum (nautical) and a crate of Stella (Tennessee Williams... okay,… Continue

And So It Begins

It was good to meet up with everyone in Manchester yesterday to talk about NTW10. Really looking forward to see what we will create for the Butetown show. Mad to think that at the beginning of the year I had never seen any kind of theatre and now I'll be involved in this production. I think we are going to produce that everyone involved, including the Butetown Community, can be proud of. Here are a few links that people may find interesting.

This is a short documentary…
