Hiya Ntwers,

I am having a great time at the moment doing workshops in Ponty with Peer Mentoring Wales as part of TEAM.

Here is a bit of a taster:

Peer Mentoring Wales is an organisation …

I had a great day today exploring Tonypandemonium with Sean, Tony and Hayley who are part of an insertion programme by Peer Mentoring Wales and Employment Support Service in Caerphilly.

None of my small group had- apparently-done any theatre but they were amazing and surprised themselves with their capacity to improvise and invent amazing lies, Sean became one of the character of the play with endless stories, Tony the…

Hi TEAM,

August 012 is looking for an Assistant Director to help me during the rehearsals of Caligula

The rehearsals are starting on 11th March (next week!) and the show opens on 10th April for 10 days in Chapter Studio.

The play is an absurdist tragi-comedy by Albert Camus dealing with the young Emperor's excess and  thirst for the…

Hi Team,

I am about to embark on the creation of devised piece with and by 4/5 Yemeni young women.

They are very exciting, don't have much theatre experience but an enormous amount of energy and ideas.

We'll work the equivalent of a week time scattered from the 8th June (next week) to 8th July in Cardiff, generally from 4pm to 7pm in Cardiff town centre.

The idea is for them to experience the process of creating a performance from the initial idea to a short…

Friends,

We are half way through our research time working with ex miners from Big Pit.

The ingredients and connections we had are somehow starting to generate a coherent world.

From Monday Chris, John, James, Pete, Gerald and Alan from Big Pit, the Mynyddislwyn Male Choir and me will brave the Donald Gordon stage...in the dark. Here is a short video before we get swallowed by the black…

Comrades,

At the beginning of the week I went to Caernarfon with Abdul to see the wonderful people of Galeri and record Jason84 and Dion Jones who have been jamming together since Caernarfon Assembly last January.

We had a great day, Dion, Jason, Dylan and the rest of the crew recorded 4 songs.

Here are 2 of them.

NB: If your neck hurts, please remember when I was making good video and be compassionate…

It is with great sadness that we learnt of the passing of Sheikh Said Hassan Ismail, Imam at Cardiff Mosque. A foremost scholar and religious leader in Cardiff, the reach of his wisdom and generosity of spirit went much further than Muslims and Cardiff.

His work in uniting people of different faiths to build shared communities will live on, and his willingness to engage with people of all different walks of life and give time to listen and share experiences will always be remembered…

BVSNW are looking for 6 talented and enthusiastic writers to transform 6 fascinating stories of the life and times of ‘Black Wales’ during the 1950s.

We have spent 2 consecutive days with Pete, Rob, Gerald, Ian, Martin, Bob, Jake, John, Des, Russ, Mike and Bedrock and it has been glorious. I now know how to prepare the lamps and vaguely manage to work my way around the surface.

It has been quite immersive and I am starting to think more coalface than millions of years. 

The repetition of the daily tasks, machinery checks and tour rhythm have somehow shifted my attention from the colossal dormant coal seam,…

Since I moved to Wales 2 years ago, I went 5 times to Big Pit in Blaenafon.

At first I thought it was the going down the mine experience that attracted me so I drove to Dolaucothi gold mine. I managed to shoot a short video there, echoing some of the visual experiences of Big Pit but it wasn't the same. I missed them. The ex miners, their gestures, their care, their peaceful and dense energy and also that particular darkness and the irregularity of the black…

From Dion & Jason in Caernarfon, have a great one.…
