Over the last two weeks National Theatre Wales' collaboration with Ocean Park Academy has seen our older students show us their competitive side; a good thing!

Returning from half term we stretched our theatrical legs and warmed up with some games like 1,2,3, questions only, and grandma's footsteps... these team exercises were a good way to get energised before entering the escape…

A little troupe of members from TEAM took up Rachel Rosen’s offer to see My Body Welsh by Tara Robinson and Steffan Donnelly last Thursday at Galeri in Caernarfon. The play is a monologue, exploring ‘the role storytelling plays in constructing national identity’ and it is BRILLIANT (and it’s not just me saying that – see Wales Arts Review for a thorough and eloquent review ).…

Ladies and Gentlemen, we are very excited to announce our new line up for TEAM Panel!

For 2017, we have four new members:

 …

So. TEAM Panel. Me. TEAM panel AND me. Oof. Let’s start with me. Narcissists never change.

I’m Jeremy, I’m a writer, performer, professional idiot and general weirdo.  I’m based in Cardiff and now I’m on TEAM Panel.  That’s not really saying anything new though.

Shit. Ok. So I’ve applied for Panel before but this time I was successful. Yay.  I guess that makes me a successful failure, but then I always was an oxymoron. Without the oxy.

So as you may or may not know…

It’s come at an incredibly important time for me both personally and politically. I feel like now more than ever its time to get our hands dirty, get amongst it and explore new ways of coming…
