Over the last eighteen months WalesLab has been quietly making a difference to lots projects accross the country, providing much needed support at the very early stages of an idea.

Over this time we've explored Augmented Reality in theatre, dating scams, life after death, Mexican wrestling ballerinas, experiences of the Syrian revolution, and worked from Capelulo in the North to Castlemartin in the south. You can find out more about the projects by looking at the shiny new WalesLab pages on our website, click on a pin on the map and you'll see what happened there.

Whilst WalesLab isn't about production, and generally works with projects at the beginning of their life, we're also delighted to have seen projects progress through to public performance with Norman & Judith recieving ACW funding for an exhibition at Milkwood Gallery, Fear of Breathing recieving critical acclaim duing it's run at the Finborugh Theatre, Lady Gogo Goch having a work-in-progress sharing at Bristol Ferment, plus upcoming performances for good cop bad cop at Chapter, and Tracy Harris in CPT's Sprint festival

And Now the important bit..

We're now looking for new projects and ideas for development. If you've got one, don't let it it stay where it is, be that a notebook or in that nagging part of your head - let it out and lets get talking about it. If you want to apply to WalesLab all you have to do is fill in a very simple form, and then we'll shortlist a number of projects who'll be invited in to meet with a panel to dicuss the project further. It's that simple.

What do we get?

What do you need? WalesLab isn't a grant programme, it's about developing artists and ideas.

You any any collaborators we agree to will all be paid for an agreed period of time - usually between one & two weeks. We'll provide you with the space and resources you need, advice and support.

If you want to know more have a look at the previous projects we've supported and the FAQ's on the WalesLab group, or you can send me a message or give me a call and I'll do my best to help.

When?

The deadline for applications is midday on March 1st.
