We are part of the way through De Gabay, the first show of National Theatre Wales' third season of work. 

A group of young people from Butetown have spent the day reporting on the event and you can see their updates at CardiffBayNews.com

They are also Tweeting @CardiffBayNews

Right now you can watch, live, a parliament of poetry and debate taking…

This is the first of a series of posts introducing our NTWY3 shows, answering your questions and telling you a bit more about what to expect from each one. If you have any questions that aren't answered here, comment on the post and we'll do our best to answer. 

First up, De Gabay. …

On Thursday we launched NTWY3, our Third Year of productions. It was a really exciting day - starting with the website launch at midnight and running right through an afternoon event in our Butetown space and the online aftermath which is still going on. 

There were loads of Tweets and other responses online, so we've collected some of the best in a Storify story to tell the tale of the day. 

Some highlights are…

A few months ago we launched a new weekly National Theatre Wales e-newsletter. The idea was created by the staff team, then I sketched it out with some felt tip pens and the lovely people at Hoffi put together our template. 

I've enjoyed delving into all our news and updates and putting them together to share with you each fortnight, so I really hope anyone who's been receiving the mailing has found it useful! 

Thanks to everyone…

Last week Gavin and I went to Amsterdam for a few days to be part of MC Theater’s New Realities Conference and to meet people working in theatre in Holland.

The…

A year or so ago I saw a tweet from Rob, Birmingham Royal Ballet's New Media Officer, announcing a new project, Pointe Blank, in which BRB had commissioned a number of illustrators and designers to respond to the plot and themes of the ballet Coppélia. The work was shown in Birmingham and also online, at …

Theatre can be a powerful thing. Lots of people are also shaped by early childhood experiences. What happens when you combine both? 

I think it's quite likely a lot of us are shaped by our early theatrical experiences. The other day we asked people on Facebook and Twitter to tell us about their first theatre experiences and we had some great responses. 

In the spirit of sharing, I will tell you that I think the first time I ever went to the theatre was to see Aladdin the…

This weekend I had the great pleasure of heading to London for the Hide & Seek Weekender. The Weekender is a four-day event (though I only made it to 2 days) run by Hide & Seek, a game design studio who, according to their website, are 'dedicated to inventing new kinds of play'. They worked with National Theatre Wales on …

This week I went to Brighton for the annual Arts Marketing Association Conference. I was joined by Mike, Devinda, Matt and Anna for what turned out to be a 5-hour train journey to Brighton during which it felt like we called at every station in southern England! 

I will try to write in more depth…

I'm just putting the finishing touches to National Theatre Wales' very first e-newsletter.

We'll be updating you every fortnight with the what we're up to, projects we're part of and any events we'd love you to join us for. 

If you've received the first issue, it would be great to find out what you thought. What would you like more of? What's not so interesting? 

If you haven't joined our mailing list yet but you'd like to receive news and…

I've been thinking recently about how we, as people, as artists, can sometimes let fear stop us doing things. Whether it's fear of moving to a new place, trying something you haven't done before, or laying yourself bare creatively, it's always a possibility when looking into doing new things. 

Matt's profile explains a new way of thinking really well - get out of the traffic jam - but what if the…

Anna and a group of brilliant TEAM volunteers ran a pop-up shop in the St David's Centre last week to tell people about A Provincial Life, give them free tea and generally have a chat. They've had some great conversations by…

On Tuesday 28th February it was time for the final show of NTW11 Outdoors. Michael, Donna and I travelled up to Aberystwyth for the show. I'm known for being a bit snap happy with my cameraphone so I thought for once I'd actually share the results. Here, in pictures, is our Aberystwyth Adventure:

After we left the M4 for the…

I’m really excited to tell you all about our brand new online shop which launched today. We’ve had merchandise available at some of our shows over the past year but now it’s time for the National Theatre Wales shop to hit the World Wide Web.

We’ve stocked our shop with an initial selection of products including hoods, t-shirts, kids clothing and the accompanying book and play-text from The Dark Philosophers and The Passion. 

Over time we will develop a variety of products from…
