Digital Producers Lab

Hi Community,

So following on from the lovely Matt Ball's Blog, I echo Matt's question: What's a Digital Producer anyway?

We had our first meet up last Wednesday and the day went incredibly quickly. It was a day skilfully put together by Katherine and Victoria; we played a get to know you game with John McGrath, had an awesome lunch, drank…

Returning to Rhayader - NTW TEAM (2)

Last weekend Buddug James Jones and myself headed to CARAD to work on their latest event - Finding Rhayader 2: People and Places. The aim of the event was to encourage the local community to re-engage with CARAD and to gather stories from them to be archived and included in their latest exhibition which has the same name. 

 

We left Cardiff for Rhayader Friday morning and arrived at CARAD early in the afternoon. Liz and volunteers were all busy setting up the space and so…

Returning to Rhayader - NTW TEAM

So this weekend I am very excited to be returning to Rhayader. I'm looking forward to revisiting the fairy doors, seeing the Red Kites circling over-head, being protected by green mountains rather than grey concrete, catching up with friends and making new ones,…

A Week After Edinburgh

Hi NTW Community,

Its been a week since I came back from the Edinburgh Fringe and I've felt like I needed this time to contemplate and get my head back in order. Being at the fringe is like being in a little bubble for the time that you are there. You are so focused on the show that you are working on and seeing all of the great shows that are on offer that its near impossible to focus on everything else. Its great that all that young, fresh new work is grouped all in one…

Edinburgh so far 3 . . .

Hi NTW Community!

Sorry for being quiet the last couple of days I have been rushed off my feet! 

The Golden Cowpat has been taking over my life! I have been flyering for hours everyday! We have had lots of venues and industry people in to watch the show, which is very exciting for…

Edinburgh so far 2 . . .

Hello! From wet and windy Edinburgh!

So on Thursday evening I walked up to the Udderbelly box office and played box office roulette. I asked what the next show on was and they said The Vocal Orchestra. I cringed, as I had been hoping that there would have been something more theatrical on, and asked what the next show on was but that finished a…

Edinburgh so far . . . .

Hi NTW Community,

So I've been up in Edinburgh for five days now, everything has been going well with The Golden Cowpat. Our ticket sales haven't been to bad and we've been having a lot of fun flyering and performing on the mile. The shows themselves have been strong and the children and parents have been really generous and have…

My first day at Edinburgh 2012 . . .

Hi NTW Community,

So today was my first day at the Edinburgh Fringe 2012. I arrived yesterday but not until the evening and so didn't manage to accomplish anything of any interest, apart from watching the closing ceremony of the Olympics - thoroughly enjoyed it but what about the Paralympics! Don't understand why those events aren't just included in the Olympics! (Sorry went off on a bit of a tangent then.)…

NTW TEAM on the Streets for NTW18 - My Personal Experience

Last week myself and other members of the Cardiff NTW TEAM went out on the streets of central Cardiff to ask people: "What would make you protest?"

Some people walked past us and ignored us, others took a flyer and a badge but didn't want to stop and talk and some people really wanted to tell us what would make them protest and hear about the show and National Theatre Wales.

Whilst out and about there were a few things that became apparent to me.…

My First Ever Blog Post . . .

Sitting in my living room with the TV on in the background I sit and write my first ever blog post . . . But what to write about?

So I thought I'd write about my relationship with National Theare Wales, so far . . . 

NTW18 is the second show that I will be helping to promote as part of the NTW TEAM, having been part of the comms TEAM for NTW17, and even though we have only had one meeting, I can tell that they are both going to be completely different…
