Bird. A Short Story

I'm currently living in San Francisco, but I'm moving to Cardiff in the Summer. Would really like to become part of a storytelling community. This is an example of my work.

Fresh Apples by Rachel Trezise Day 2

We wanted to find theatrical substance to this extraordinary writing and make it just as powerful and effective off the page as it is on it.We explored different ways of framing the text from a short story in the book called 'But Not Really' to lift the drama and we filmed alot of our process to show the NTW, Rachel herself ,of course, and also to have a record of it ...when we develop it further down the line.

I think the main memory i have of these days is laughter (and…

Day 30 - Up a Great Big Hill - Cnwch Coch

Sam and I ran 8km today. Mostly up hill. Except for the bits where we were going down hill. I'm not sure which was worse, the endless agonising climbing or the occasional rapid descent. The latter puts a lot of stress on the tops of the thighs and the knees and I couldn't help feeling that I was going to fly uncontrollably face first into the mud. Or else involuntarily perform the splits and then have to wait to be airlifted to the nearest hospital. Sam led the way. This was his run and… Continue

The Valleys Assembly: When does the future start? Local people in Blaengarw answer the question.

A group of us working on the Valleys Assembly went through the Garw Valley last week asking questions and gathering local people's answers. Here are their answers to our question: When

does the future start?









And as an extension of this first question, a new question arose: When did the past end?…

Day 29 - Cogito Ergo Sum - Cnwch Coch -

I have decided that I need to find out something about philosophy. Starting with Descarte. It seems like a good idea, seeing as I am training to be a doctor of philosophy, that I know something about ... well, philosophy. So Descartes today, Kant tomorrow, and so on until I can list them all in chronological order like the kings and queens on the back of a ruler... was it just me that had that ruler? The Rulers ruler. I don't think it helped me do much more than draw straight… Continue

Fresh Apples by Rachel Trezise...Day 1

Hello everyone......Just when you thought the Pinter play has ended and you'd get a bit of peace...I thought i would share some different sections of text with you from 'But Not Really 'by the very gifted Rachel Trezise.

The moon shone against his house, showing up its new paint, a soft lime colour, like a woman in a new layer of confidence, stepping out into the summer for the first time in a mini skirt and a new pair of sandals. The hanging baskets either side of the front…

Great times had by all

Just practicing being a more virtual part of this community by saying a huge well done and thank you to NTW and all the community for the Assembly at Blaengarw last week. Huge congrats to Catherine for organising the event and thanks for giving Mess Up The Mess the opportunity to be involved in creating such an action packed week - we had a great time! Best food at Creations cafe - missing it already.

My favourite part of the evening on Thursday had to be when the Blue Baby…

Our 4 New Critics attended the Press Night for A Good Night Out in the Valleys.

My last blog for 'A good night out in the Valleys'

Hey Blog, Sorry it's been so long since my last entry. Apart from being all consumed with putting the show on and touring, frankly I'm rather daunted by trying to do this blogging right. I have never been very good with technology!!!

We have reached the end of our journey with 'A good night out' and what a journey it has been. I sincerely hope that all of you who saw the production liked/loved it and were happy with what we achieved, I certainly am.

The job has been all…

Vertebrae velocity

Hello,


Just returned from a GREAT week in Barmouth where we held our 'Story Shop/Siop Story'.


It was a terrific, intense and inspiring experience. People really embraced the opportunity to share their anecdotes, memories and recollections, just as I hoped. Some wonderful tales and visceral images have emerged that will shape and form the creative backbone of FMS&S.
The visual vertebrae is developing and gaining…
