MACBETH R&D: Phase 1

We've been doing a lot of research lately.

R&D processes have typically been something we'd under go on our own, with no support, exploring an idea and trying to realise parts of it physically or through images, and then we'd talk about it a hell of a lot, and then we'd just crack on and make it.

However, recently with the support of National Theatre Wales #WalesLab and The Arts Council Of Wales R&D Fund supported by CADW and The Riverfront Theatre it feels like we've had time to focus, time to reflect and time to digest, and in having the chance to do that we've realised how important it is.

Yesterday me and some of the creative team for Macbeth (which consist of Phil Regan (Director), Bridie and James from Citrus Arts (Large Scale Spectacle), Jules Howarth (Production Manager), Peter Farago (Visual and Sound Artist) visited the sight at Raglan Castle to explore it and get a better idea of how we want to utilise the space.

It was a beautiful sunshiney day, so I thought I'd just take the opportunity to share some of the images that were taken…

We've got another day of R&D planned for next week, and I'll be sure to keep you updates with the progress of this project, which is no doubt the biggest thing we've ever wanted to undertake!
