more dreams and realities at the Scala

Every week Ffilm Scala goes from strength-to-strength - there's a regular group of young people coming into the Creative Surgeries with amazing enthusiasm and ideas - they can whip out a storyboard or two in the first hour and have usually rehearsed a rough outline and assigned roles in the second. We've had the immense good fortune to have Ryan Hall who's committed to coming every week until he starts his new job in the film world (I'm hoping to get him to join the NTW Community so that…

24 Hours in Barmouth

Marega and I returned to Barmouth in November to work a little with Bermo Arts on their production of James and The Giant Peach.

We had spent a month during the hottest part of the summer working on For Mountain Sand and Sea with the enigmatic Marc Rees and revelled in the juxtaposition of weekend Biker, Kite, Girl Guide and Line Dance Festivals (not so juxtaposed anymore) along with… 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.
