white-space: pre-wrap;">As a company Tin Shed uses a key collaborating ingredients list in order to co-create the work. This often begins with a place and the land stewards or managers of that location, building, monument or landscape. Then the people or communities connected or disconnected from that specific location & then the professional artists surrounding them. We sometimes find that these things interconnect and in many cases are surprised by who becomes our company & what the story is we are trying to tell. But it is always organic. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The stories we tell are unique & varied, inspired by those who collaborate with the company, or sit next to us on a train. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Firstly, before I reminisce too much about the truly inspiring experiences I’ve just had, I want to talk a little bit about working internationally as an artist or company that self-produces. I must add, that at present TSTC are not a core funded organisation, therefore we rely on project funds to see us through our work, often meaning that a lot of the heavy partnership graft happens outside of the allotted ‘project’ time. We hope, soon, that this will change. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal;

It's definitely not a one size fits all, but sometimes a bit of cash, time, a roof, space to chat and connect, a warm welcome and a place to stay goes a long way, and most venues could do better to ensure they are creating paid space and time for artists to make art that doesn't involve lengthy applications & short term offers, this is about long term relationships & continued developmental support that can come in all shapes and sizes. From the use of printing facilities, to time with a producer, from free hot drinks and desk space to rehearsal rooms, it all helps. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">It feels like Tin Shed are scratching the surface with this and our work on </span><a href="http://www.theplacenewport.com" style="font-family: -webkit-standard; text-decoration-line: none; white-space: normal;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">www.theplacenewport.com</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> is definitely a start. </span></span></p><div style="text-align: left;"><span><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEuutLW1tGdg9VfQRxSeAOfT6ao7VbV3PF8N_1lE2XDjzPZNB2p030aAeO6IMXAHa9r8b8GxM7qnVD6DEh14jLxTSNlopvUl3asa6_xiFNL4Mp9T4ECqAHhkWyByLibxmsTGbQjlaczO2FkwEL4RlRmBbG8ovmno9Aopa1VyDVo4pHTi60ua1rJjqX/s4032/IMG_6715.HEIC" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEuutLW1tGdg9VfQRxSeAOfT6ao7VbV3PF8N_1lE2XDjzPZNB2p030aAeO6IMXAHa9r8b8GxM7qnVD6DEh14jLxTSNlopvUl3asa6_xiFNL4Mp9T4ECqAHhkWyByLibxmsTGbQjlaczO2FkwEL4RlRmBbG8ovmno9Aopa1VyDVo4pHTi60ua1rJjqX/s320/IMG_6715.HEIC" width="240" /></a></div><span><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Working internationally & you are inevitably dealing with Brexit.

We believe in creating open spaces, not just by design but through a careful understanding of the barriers, invisible and otherwise that can exist in engaging with a space that you can't really put your finger on. Walking over thresholds and interacting with strangers is a daunting thing. This is why we've worked hard to consider outdoor space as much as indoors, with pavement licensing and event power sockets, the street outside can become a place to breath life and action. </span></p><br /><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Place has visible Artwork on the OUTSIDE of the building. In our case, this has been given life by Molly Hawkins. It's often about changing the attitudes to the outside of places, the streets we walk down, giving the brutalist structure of the city a POP of colour can completely change the mindset and behaviour of those around it. It's playful, joyful, and costs you nothing to look at or to step inside. We’ve worked closely with Gwent Police on the Safer Streets campaign to look at a piece of artwork that directly challenges people's attitudes to negative space - an idea beyond the use of cameras and street lighting, that changes the ecology of how we behave in public places. A piece of work inspired by the late, great Lynette Webbe who would say to anyone who’d listen “You’re all bloody fantastic” those words now sit on the side of the building with some beautiful artwork by consumer smith.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Ok, But what is it?

Because ultimately what this space will do is increase people's social infrastructure, promote social engagements through arts activity, increase people's social capital, increase people's civic pride, create new and lasting relationships and hopefully, in turn, better people's mental health and wellbeing and change attitudes and behaviours to the city and those around us.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">For example, since opening Unit 9 in Friars Walk back in 2021 we were asked the same questions - since then its been a workshop space, pop up shop, venue, and meeting place and regularly hosts companies and organisations from all over. Hundreds of people have walked in and out of its doors having interacted in unique experiences, met new people, formed new relationships and often without any monetary exchange. Sometimes these temporary buildings and ideas just have to ‘happen’ they almost end up writing their own script and purpose for the time they are functional because they rely heavily on the people who need them, and that changes. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">To find out what's coming up at Unit 9 visit: https://www.tinshedtheatrecompany.com/unit-9</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Big up to Emily and the team at Friars for supporting Unit 9 and all those who have used it to run their excellent projects.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Now, by osmosis, other empty units in the centre are now hosting student galleries, fundraisers, social awareness campaigns, charity pop-ups and concerts. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">But this isn’t a new concept, we had the empty shops project in Newport 11 years ago, it's just with increased UK government capacity funds comes a boost in creative and social engagement work, it's a shame this stuff can't be a constant, but we can't grumble. It's here and we’re happy, for as long as it lasts. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In order to respond to our changing world, habits, relationships and economies, we have to see that repurposing empty or disused space for more than just the traditional business use is essential. This includes outdoor spaces and the creation of more places and spaces that simply seek to better people's lives in ways that don’t involve a capitalist framework. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">But this IS happening in Newport and it seems pretty quickly. Geek retreat gaming shop, Reality Theatre's space, The Remake Centre, Mark and Gap Bikes Cycle storage space, all within 2 minutes walk of each other. All supporting new spaces for people to engage with that serve far more than consumerism. We cant deny that Newport's economy and communities are fragile, and this is why organisations with social purpose woven into the fabric of their constitutions have to be better supported. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Place has a website, </span><a href="http://www.theplacenewport.com/" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration-skip: none; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">www.theplacenewport.com</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> where people will find more information, more on studio hire, venue bookings and what's coming up.

These may not be indoors. With enough open, bright, free space to allow people to negotiate themselves and their potential post pandemic social anxieties and Covid safety. In order to continue we must extend our focus to working out of our buildings, and initially connect these to places where people feel safe to be.

For most of us the pandemic has meant a greater social connection to our immediate environments, For some it has offered the ability to slow down, take stock, for others it has meant grief, loss and for most isolation and fear but alongside this have been beautiful examples of togetherness, an increased sense of civic pride, window displays, shopping trips, love and care - but this needs to recognised and measured now.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If housing associations and city planning departments seek to better understand the effect that their decisions have on the impact and behaviour of society then they must read Palaces for the People by Erik Klinenberg. A book that enters into a epidemiological investigation of city planning in direct relationship to human behaviour. Klinenberg compares multiple spaces created to promote social infrastructure and mirrored housing complexes with small differences in design but immeasurable impacts on human and social capital. It cites broken windows as a physical representation of lack of civic pride, and allows us to imagine the impact that a series of disused spaces has on its urban landscape in direct relation to raised rates of crime and antisocial behaviour. You see one broken window, why not break another? But how do we measure the need for more social housing alongside the takeover of cultural and retail space? We need a balance. Because without the spaces that encourage social cohesion we send ourselves further into a segregated society of locked doors and closed minds. The pandemic has allowed us to see what happens when we lack social interaction and we are yet to fully measure the long term impact of this social isolation and separation.</span></p><br /><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This social impact to space is reflected in the city planning and development of negative space such as underpasses and alleyways. These spaces can be redeveloped and often are by artists, but are we really reimagining their functionality? And the need to discuss the socio-economic issues of the areas that often surround them? These commissions regularly come packaged neatly in hours to engage with local communities, but is the support and funds ever really given to invest the time needed to consult, measure and implement creative solutions together? When will we stop seeing community engagement and development as a part time, tick box exercise? And as a vital part of everything we do. This is about co-creation and agency. </span></p><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 263px; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; overflow: hidden; width: 395px;"><img height="263" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/UoftpWCMAGbSuiGviD3H1C7DFH8xWxzPXJIwX3x0Gyvwj63yVXB08QyuvFNwBnnTeGPzM4pt23Elp-jXLIvJ5Hfc4jiGcFOjSssF9g-WswX4yae7-EJLm-3_lBFr6RVyUP443QwZ" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="395" /></span></div><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It also isn’t an impossible task to consider initiatives that engage with communities to brighten up their own neighbourhoods. To enter into a new relationship with the world outside their front doors, that responds to the changes as a result of the pandemic, that offers them agency, ownership and creative means to redevelop and reshape their spaces, to make them safe and supported. The likelihood is of course, that these areas lack the social capital and agency needed to articulate the re-imagination of their environments, because who has been there to listen to them? Who even asked? Also how do you encourage people to realise their creative potential? It could be suggested that a holistic and long term approach to public engagement is required. It has been proven that, positive action creative social action will often counteract negative and anti social behaviour, This isn't the long arm of the law, or a 'no cycle' sign, the removal of benches or a private security guard, because when people are offered agency and the ability to truly feel a sense of creative civic and local pride the spaces are maintained.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This is really about understanding social and cultural behaviours. Why do young people hang out for hours in McDonald's? because its likely their continued custom is welcome by the staff but for them that space is safe, its familiar, its open enough to promote social gathering which is likely encouraged, therefore in this space they have a raised social capital, it also has free wifi and cheap food. Why do young people hang out in the streets? Because adults voted for a government that stripped social services bare of the staff, tools and funds needed to keep youth centres and provisions open... but that's another blog. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In a recent article in the Telegraph entitled ‘Welcome to Operation Rebuild Britain’ Simon Heffer writes that post WW2 the government appointed a Minister of reconstruction - “to oversee the physical and psychological rebuilding of society” .

Often looking at our artistry as the vehicle for deeper social connection to a location or a community. For us, it has always started with a location, indoors or out and the people that directly and indirectly inhabit it and the socioeconomic factors that surround it. A typical process for us takes a minimum of 3 years, from conception to delivery and either side of the 'show' in whatever form that takes, is a lengthy process of identifying with local partner organisations and rooting ourselves in the temporary world, listening to people, with the understanding that we can't always stay, and we can't solve everything, we often need to access services that can help and that our work may well be at the very start of a journey or at least a conversation.</span></p><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 257px; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; overflow: hidden; width: 343px;"><img height="257" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/OKrYbhtgE7xFrfBaiOKKNOVMxayosKEbLvLIOpUEz5gZgJjAC-YGiGS-PfVgHcn_T2qXXsy2SUhu8e-QwuAKUyN20RIMvG6jiu0FHSJ7gClZg6kpOXRvjYTNteSxhCRy-DBfdTV4" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="343" /></span></div><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This journey never starts with building more buildings, rather repurposing and reimagining what's already there and is often the celebration of human value, connection and telling great stories.

As we stand on the precipice and look
out towards the next two weeks, we are filled with all sorts of bits. Bits
of worry, anxiety, excitement, accomplishment, failure, unity,
division and a sense of something great yet almost beyond our
abilities. </div>

We have a team of 30 something
individuals. Working over four separate locations. Making, changing,
creating, building, problem solving, the list goes on. There have
been a lot of lists. Its the way we often find it easiest to
contextualise our process. For us, as Tin Shed Theatre Co, this
'process' is new, fresh and uncharted territory, a step towards
making theatre without being physically present in the work. Which
isn't strictly the case, but I shant drop a spoiler. We have embarked
on trying to teach our physical language as a company that came
together with a mutual interest to tell character driven stories,
with the weird, bleakly dark and tragic at heart. </div>

'Theatre' I use this in the loosest
sense of the term. It is 'theatre' taken out of context and removed from the literal space. Its become
about community and the bringing together of people in one shared
experience. A machine that if one part was taken away it would
malfunction. Real lives, merged together to make the 'Theatre'
happen. We are constantly thinking of how we share our journey with those
who want to access it. I often wonder why artistic merit is measured
on an end product or set goal? Who sets these? And who is measuring?
Whose feedback am we interested in? At whatever part we see fit to
judge. Who are the judges? Again, we could go on.

Back tracking slightly to June 2017,
after we made Apocalypso we felt broken. Not only physically but
mentally. We made a lot of mistakes, and it took us a long time to
try and unpick the web of confusion that was generated from an
artistic community that we know and respect some who turned their
backs on us when we asked for honesty, and I use the phrase 'turning
backs' as a literal reference. Friends, associates, people we know
and respect, people we have worked with and for, avoided us in bars,
at social gatherings, coughed over their cups of coffee in meetings
when we asked them what they thought about the show. It was awkward,
uncomfortable, and upsetting. Not because we didn't want the truth,
but because everyone felt that they had to hide it from us. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Had we made a piece of
work that was so bad it warranted being ignored? Maybe, we'll never
know. We feel as a company we try and forge an open space where anyone
can and should express they way they feel about our work, we'll take
it, and respect it, you paid for it (or not in the case of Moby Dick
so you can keep your opinions to yourself... I joke) So tell us if
you hated it. As a publicly funded organisation we have a duty to listen to the feedback of everyone who sees our work and we must respond to that. We're not mentioning here the people who took to an
anonymous website to give us their thoughts, which was refreshing,
informative and structured. We always ask ourselves who are we making
our work for? And that is a question, as publicly funded
organisations we should all ask ourselves, and how we can be true to
our funding aims and objectives, as best we can. Transparency in all
elements of our work as an organisation is something we aim for. Lets
share practice, assets, thoughts, opinions and pints.

Apocalypso changed us, as individuals
and as a company and we believe, ultimately has helped us make better
decisions about process and will help us make better work. So if you are coming to see Moby Dick, and want to leave us some feedback here is how <a href="https://deref-gmx.com/mail/client/MJ2YpMuWJCo/dereferrer/?redirectUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.surveymonkey.co.uk%2Fr%2FYVMZ3BN" target="_blank">https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/YVMZ3BN</a></div>

So.. the performances are now sold out.
But not entirely. We had online sales of minus 20% of the overall
sales deliberately. We realised very quickly that whilst we make
steps to ensure our work is accessible to a disabled audience, we
were ignoring a complete demographic of individuals who have no
access to all our online promotion or ticket sales. </div>

Online sales
'Sold Out' in 7 days, thats 550 tickets gone, so we took it offline.
We have been out on foot, around Pill with a pocket full of flyers
letting people know these tickets are for them, pointing them towards
our pop up community space 'The Nest'. We talk a lot about trust, and embedding ourselves in a community, we don't claim to have all the
answers and we don't think we'll manage to meet every single aim we
intended to, but we will try.

<span lang="EN-US">Since dropping an unintentionally cryptic
message online a few months back we’ve been dying to put something out into the
ether and let you all know about a huge project we’ve got coming up this Oct.
Those who are on the mailing list, and some other more eager eyed, astute
on-liners might have a clue as to what I’m talking about here, but instead of
code and guesswork we thought we’d finally announce whus going on.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Tin Shed Theatre Co. in partnership with
First Campus, funded by Arts Council Wales and Heritage Lottery, with support
from Gwent Living Levels, Newport Live, Newport City Council and The
Riverfront, will be staging an interpretation of Herman Melville’s <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Moby Dick</i>, on the floating platform of
the Newport Transporter Bridge for 12 nights this October, with our four Access Nights being on the 11, 12, 13 & 14 of October.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">This performance is the culmination of over
4 years of work, in and out of Pillgwenlly and other locations within Newport, and recently
the work has become about bringing together a creative team
of professionals and non-professionals (mainly based in Newport), to finally
see this work coming to fruition.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">By creating this work on the Transporter
Bridge we want to highlight an iconic part of Newport’s heritage, momentarily repurposing
it as a floating theatre that has the power to bring people together and share
an experience. Built as a mode of transport for the steelworkers and
dockworkers of Pillgwenlly, the bridge notionally belongs to Pill, and as such
we wanted to root ourselves here and place the people in this community at the
forefront of what we’re doing. Inspired by the thoughts and ideas of the late but
so amazingly GREAT Lynette Webbe, we have not only created performance roles
for local people, but have a whole host of paid skill sharing roles in Production,
Design, Tech and Management, linking non-professionals with established
professionals so that we may inspire the makers and doers of the future. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">We’re also really excited to say that for
the first time ever we have managed to realise a long held ambition to create a
piece of work that is completely FREE for audiences who need it to be. There
will be <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">no ticket cost </i></b>to come and see this work, just an agreement
between you and us that you’ll actually show up! Removing this obvious access barrier
has always been something we’ve wanted to do and to be able to do it here with
our biggest piece of work to date feels amazing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">However, just because we have a local focus
doesn’t mean we don’t want to bring audiences from far and wide to Newport to
celebrate this city with us! So no matter where you’re from, if this work
sounds good to you, get along and share it with us. We have 70 people a night
able to clamber onto the gondola, and we hope to create a vibrant pocket of
activity and adventure once a night for twelve nights in October.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Our version of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Moby Dick</i> looks at finding links between the original novel and the
history of the steel workers and dockworkers here in Pill. These hardworking working
class men sent out to toil in hazardous forms of employment in order to make
ends meet, to live, prosper and survive. It explores what happens when these
invaluable forms of security and prosperity disappear, and it seeks to use a
classical text as the conduit for a modern story about male mental health,
isolation and masculine crisis in places like Newport and Pill.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Phew. That’s it. Almost. I think. Most of
what we want to tell you about right now anyway. As a company ran by two
people, this is a lot of stuff, and as such we have managed to recruit an
AMAZING TEAM of creative, passionate, thoughtful, talented and hard working
individuals who are absolutely vital in making this project a success, as well
as these there is a core group of community members who have formed a company
called <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Public Theatre</i>, and they
yet to cease amazing us with there passion and commitment for this work. So
first and foremost, we wanna thank all of these people right here, whilst
letting you know WE’VE STILL GOT ROLES AVAILABLE! Check out our social medias
and our website for more info!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="border: 1pt none; padding: 0cm;">This work is about reimagining a much-loved piece of heritage and
an icon of Newport’s city skyline, whilst repurposing the platform of the
gondola as a temporary performance space. We want to tackle the gritty and
awesome text that is Moby Dick, exploring the work through devising
theatre practices, movement, puppetry and performance, whilst exploring the
potential of linking a small cast of professional performers with a larger
non-professional community cast, to create an inclusive piece of performance
that will float audiences over the Usk.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="border: 1pt none; padding: 0cm;">We want to creating a performance through which we can speak about
our city, share our stories, and make a statement of action and participation
whilst standing boldly together on the platform of the bridge. Through doing
this we want to question the value of heritage, looking at the bridges history
whilst exploring it's future, creating a unique celebratory event for the
people of Newport, and beyond.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="border: 1pt none; padding: 0cm;">Within the framework of the piece there are four roles for
professional performers. Working creatively with the Director and with a
devised script, these roles are about exploring and developing strong
characters, perfecting the physicality of the piece, and story telling through
the medium of ensemble performance, acting and puppetry. With a professional
cast of four, working with and alongside a performer musician, and a larger
community cast, we want to create something wholly unique.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="border: 1pt none; padding: 0cm;">Two of the four roles have already been cast, and so now we are
looking for two more performers to join our creative team. We want to connect
with interesting, inventive and insightful performers from multiple disciplines

we we’ll create together.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

For the past year we've been working as Platfform Artists with Theatr Iolo, and so far our residency has been a very strange and wonderful thing. Starting off with some intentionally vague, and loose parameters we have explored a plethora of subject matters, created one off performances pieces in restaurants and bars, visited gardens and grave yards, and talked to a lot of people (young and old) in Ystradgynlais.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now at the end of our first full year we are looking to collate our research, and hone the work towards some sort of sharing with 8+ audiences, at The Welfare, in February, and for this we'd like to work with a Director.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Over the past 7 years we have devised and created new work, in which we have almost always simultaneously directed and performed. Now with the support of Iolo, and with the specific intention of making work for a younger audience, we want to use this as an opportunity to forge a new and exciting link with a Director, who we feel, could bring a lot to the table.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Our reason for wanting to do this stretch beyond Platfform, as we begin to put into place a long overdue development strategy for our company. We want to explore new and more interesting ways of making work by opening ourselves up to the creative impulses of others, and collaborating with expert practitioners who can guide (and perhaps wrestle) us into new and more interesting places.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Coming towards the end of our Platfform residency, we are looking to work with a Director for three weeks leading up to a sharing, at the Welfare, on Fri 23rd of February. The work is currently titled <i>BOXES, </i>and is an exploration of life, death, grief and loss that aims to be both a beautiful pocket of chaos and celebration, as well as an honest and meaningful conversation between us and our audiences of young people.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>WHAT IS BOXES?</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>BOXES </i>is the working title for our imagined piece of immersive theatre for young people. With a long term vision to create a piece of touring work that will be staged in unusual and atypical spaces, we want to reach audiences that wouldn't typically visit the theatre.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
At the moment the work mainly concerns its self with loss, asking where do people go when they die and what fills the space they leave behind, whilst exploring our personal rituals and practices that ensure the memories of our loved ones continues to exist. It's an act of remembrance and celebration, that attempts to at least have a conversation with young people about death, in a culture that is seemingly so afraid that.</div>

<br />
Hello Frank...<br />
<br />
Okay, so your name might not be Frank, but we're gunna need you to be frank with us for just a short little while.<br />
<br />
As we sit back, breathe a tired sigh, and feel the warm and lovely reverberations of four weeks hard-theatre-making, we'd love you to help us out by filling in a <b style="text-decoration-line: underline;">really important survey</b>.<br />
<br />
It's not difficult to notice that in Wales, not many people say un-nice things about peoples work... To their faces, but loads of us tear a piece apart behind closed doors (admit it). I for one know I'm guilty of saying "Oh, I really liked it, well done" when in reality I was searching under my seat for a make believe gun to shoot myself in the face and end the bitter misery of being in a darkened room with bad theatre for over an hour. I'd never say that to anyones face, I'm too nice and the scene is too small to make those kinds of caustic vibrations. However, we feel like we gotta toughen up, we need to open the door to criticism of all kinds from artists, critics and most importantly our audiences.<br />
<br />
As we were performing Apocalypso this week I saw audience members staring at me confused, perplexed, aghast and (in the case of one rather hench looking dude) really, really angrily, but online and to our faces we've naturally heard nothing but good news, because lets face it, people are generally nice and nice people find it hard to say bad things...<br />
<br />
So without further ado, we offer you your secret neg space: <a href="https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/ZYC8LDV" target="_blank">APOCALYPSO: Thoughts, Feelings, Opinions.</a><br />
<br />
By clicking the link above you can anonymously give us feedback and criticism. We haven't bombarded you with a million multiple choice questions. Just one. WHAT DID YOU THINK? We want the good, the bad and the ugly.<br />
<br />
This is our attempted to open a dialogue with the people who invested time and money into our work. We made it for you, so please help us. Click it and tell us what you think.<br />
<br />
Mucho,<br />
<br />
Justin<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When making a play about the end of the world, it'd be hard to not be too over dramatic... So instead we are embracing that instinct and whacking up to eleven.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This week we properly kick-start our new project Apocalypso. It's been two years in the think-tank, and this June we will be bringing it to life in the Riverfront Basement for five glorious nights.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A few years ago now I fell asleep on the bus and dreamt of this odd giant chicken man and his gas-masked companion. They were in an abyss of dirt and relics of an ancient time, only it was our time now, but not as we see it. It was grimy, and dark, and morose and as soon as I was jolted awake, I took out my note pad and drew a picture. Later on that night I wrote a short story based on this snippet of a dream (<a href="http://justinteddycliffe.blogspot.co.uk/2015/08/appocolpyso.html" target="_blank">you read it here</a>). Looking at that original picture, and seeing what we've started to create I'm absolutely in awe of it all. Not because of the experience of having a dream (literally a dream) breathed to life, but having the unfaltering support and willingness of Georgina to indulge in concept. It's a testament to our relationship and our work that we can support one another like this, and very soon after sharing the initial provocation it became "our idea". Now as Tin Shed Theatre Co. we return to our ultimate form to create a mad-ass dark clown art experience that will make you both revolt and rejoice.</span><br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #16191f;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In a
dystopian future a city lays ruin as a half-chicken-half-man clucks, struts and
clambers over piles of smoldering debris, as his gas masked companion sifts,
shifts and lifts large chunks of rubble in search of lost relics, packets of
m&m’s, and rare objet d’art.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #16191f;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Together
this twisted pair run Apocalypso; the last bar on earth. Here the whiskey
tastes like petrol, the toilet bowls give birth, and the party must never end. The
bar is stocked, the end is nigh, and soon they’ll meet the man who caused it all.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #16191f;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Tin Shed
Theatre Co. invite you to join them at the end of the world for an evening of
post-apocalyptic mayhem that is part theatre performance, part gig, part
free-bar.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #16191f;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Blending
cult-iconography, the spews of their imagination and pickings from modern
politics, Tin Shed create their own bleak vision of the future, in an attempt
to question the decisions of the today.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #16191f;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Utilising
their usual assertion of macabre humour they present something reminiscent of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Mad Max </i>surgically spliced with <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Waiting For Godot.</i><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Hello!<br />
<br />
How wonderful to see you...<br />
<br />
Can we offer you a cup of tea? Or coffee. A mid-afternoon libation? A quick gorp at an old battered tombstone? A tinker-truck for your sandpit? A giants head? A lump of coal? Some flat pack furniture? Or maybe just a in-depth chat about death?<br />
<br />
Should you have joined Georgina and I on our first "proper" three days of residency at The Welfare, as part of our Platfform-ness, these are some of the offers we may have made you.<br />
<br />
<br />
Disclaimer: This blog is an update on an ongoing process, so please don't expect it to make much sense from here on in, though I shall endeavour to thread clear thoughts.<br />
<br />
<br />
<u>Day 1: Collating Death</u><br />
<u><br /></u>
Sat in a dressing room, tucked behind the grand main stage of the The Welfare, we sat at a table with a big white sheet of paper. Up until this point we hadn't "formerly" logged any thoughts/ideas/assertions/inklings. So with a sharpie each we began to try and write down everything we'd ever thought about wanting to make a show for young people.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzXOQg3GrDP1QotQkZgcogZntqTMa5FVnQ_gyqBlFeGiO-ueRFjQVcYWOnRnMGYBuS0lBgwHFbnThg0eyk80HYVfGFrTXTnOBZtDM6B2LvrFc9WYeU4i3O3sVvZO2CP7wJaFRmijOWg_E/s1600/IMG_9948.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzXOQg3GrDP1QotQkZgcogZntqTMa5FVnQ_gyqBlFeGiO-ueRFjQVcYWOnRnMGYBuS0lBgwHFbnThg0eyk80HYVfGFrTXTnOBZtDM6B2LvrFc9WYeU4i3O3sVvZO2CP7wJaFRmijOWg_E/s400/IMG_9948.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<u>Stuff what we wondered:</u><br />
<u><br /></u>
- <i>Could we make a show for pets?</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>- Do kids enjoy slapstick?</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
- <i>How could we use digital media?</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>- Do we want to dance?</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>- Could we make a game?</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>- How's Billy Conolley doing?</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>- Could we throw a party?</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>- Are pet shops still allowed to sell pets* </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>*A</i><i>ctually investigated this by visiting a local pet shop. Found out that yes you can, but you have to live within a certain mile radius incase there is a fire. Which made me think that if there was a fire; are you expected to run inside the shop and save all the parakeets and hamsters? Like some sort of animal-fire-person.</i><br />
<br />
<i>- What's the stupidest way someone has died? </i><i>CASE STUDY: The Darwin Awards.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>...</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
This, eventually, after much pondering, became the subject of our focus... Or rather the focus of our subject.<br />
<br />
DEATH: The dark marauding. The hilarious. The desperate. The stupid. The heartbreaking.<br />
<br />
Is it a good idea to talk to kids about death? We think so.<br />
<br />

<br />
In the afternoon we moved from the dressing room to the main stage and ended where we explored dying, and ended up having a rather enlightening chat with The Welfare's technician-come-massive-puppet-head making-co-conspiritor, who showed us the inner workings of a giant's head.<br />

On day two was very much a day of ruminating. Taking stock of all the thought's we'd had the previous day we were given a tour of Ystradgynlais by Wynn, the Programmer at The Welfare. Firstly, I must point out that Wynn's Super Fun Bus Tour takes place in a car... Secondly, although it was a lot of fun, it was so much more thoughtful. Wynn drove us from place to place whilst filling us in with tid-bits of information in-between.</div>

We listened, and gazed out of the rain-speckled windows, being distracted by abstract weather conditions creating beautifully eerie landscapes outsides. This was such a valuable exercise for us, not only because it was a fascinating insight into the town we'll be working in over the coming months, but it allowed us to tap into what feels important. Or at least ask our selves the question: What is important? Is this important? Should we make something important?<br />

We had breakfast, properly lovely breakfast, and started talking about how we move forward. What are our next available steps? Where are we? What happens now? Although this day had a plan, the plan quickly went awry, and we found ourselves wandering around Ystradgynlais contemplating that idea that when you're an adult everything is built to your size. Vending machines, the buttons on road crossings, payphones, door handles, cupboards, car boots, super market cheque outs, window displays, toilets, sinks, draws, railings, grave stones, furniture etc. Paradoxically, when you're an adult in a primary school surrounded by tiny objects, that feels weird. With this thought we ended our day in IKEA, wandering around the childrens furniture department, trying on weird costumes and puppets, whilst trying to sit in tiny little chairs. We don't really know why.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
In the middle of last year we began to notice slow-pervading changes in the world around us. Although we saw positive vibes and a growth of interest in Newport, we saw much we didn't like in the wider world, and further afield, and we knew there was no way we were alone in feeling this cold numb wrench. Reflecting back, moments of 2015/16 felt like watching a gigantic car crash in slow motion, as our worst suspicions were eventually confirmed by decisions to frac, drop bombs, leave Europe and vote Trump.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Next I'd like to say: "We began to assimilate these feelings and events, and explored how we could make them resonant in our work..." but I can't, because the opposite is true. We have long planned to create a show about the end the world, it just so happened that 2016 gave us heaps of good material, and now we are so pleased to be able to announce; we have received funding to make that very show.</div>

<br />
Originally intended to be a speculative performance piece about the probable destruction of the world, we are now going to try and make it, before the world actually ends.<br />
<br />
<i>Apocalypso</i> will be our version of political-theatre, although hence forth we'll probably refrain from calling it that. Through this performance we imagine a far-off dystopian future, wrought by the decisions of "today". We question humanity, what it is, what it means and what it's worth. Though still very much a speculative piece, we want to make gross assumptions, play with exaggerations and create false demagogues in likenesses of those who shall not be named. In our own way we want to highlight, ridicule, and deliver a message that we feel will be an assimilation of our feelings made resonant in our work... It'll just be seen through the mad bug eyes of Marty Feldman, squizzed in a blender with grotesquery, some uber-punk-prog-grunge, a few buckets of sweet and blood, and an exhausting pace.<br />
<br />
The project is supported by The Riverfront and Arts Council Wales, and we're really looking forward to it. We hope you are too, if, of course you want to join us for the apocalypse,<i> </i>and enjoy a lukewarm cocktail, in the last bar on earth, before the inevitable nuclear heatwave melts all of our faces of.<br />

"HAPPY BLOODY NEW YEAR!<br />
<br />
HOOORAH!<br />
<br />
2016 IS DEAD...<br />
<br />
LONG LIVE 2017!"<br />
<br />
... We all screamed at midnight as the clock struck 12. The metaphorical giant-sack-of-sh*t was momentarily lifted from our aching shoulders and we were able to sigh the sweet sigh of relief.<br />
<br />
For me that final clock-tick marked not only the end of something terrible, but more so the opportunity to begin a new, reflect, learn, grow and experience. The opportunity to realise we're all gunna have to work damn hard to make things better, but also an understanding that all is not as bleak as it may seem.<br />
<br />
This year we have vowed to write a blog <i>at least</i> once every month. It's just one of our many resolutions, but our others will be shared as we venture through this haphazard year together, trying to make things shine a little brighter, and make things taste a little better. We've been busy conjuring up lots of fantastic things for you to come and see and do with us, and over the coming months we will be shouting about them.<br />
<br />
But for now, we'd like to take the time to shout about something else...<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
I won't deny it, Tin Shed Theatre Co. has a pretty good relationship with The Riverfront, and I'll also admit that sometimes when we're wanting to celebrate the arts in Newport we're a little biased, pffft sure, whatever, who wouldn't be... So just trust me when I say; it is beside the point, because here, in this instance, we are just dealing with the <u>facts</u>...</div>

Last up on our highlights are local theatre makers <i>Mr & Mrs Clark. </i>Before we go on, we yet again rush to assure you that bias hasn't kicked in here. We are bonded fans. Ever since we saw a piece of the couples work in an empty shop, in the centre of Newport city we have been enthralled and intrigued by all they do. Now, this spring, they stand here confidently, amongst heaps of new and far travelling talent as proof that although The Riverfront has branched out with this new programme it is still supporting local, home-made art, and rightly so, because it's sure to be awesome.</div>

Hello dear reader,<br />
<br />
On this beautiful Autumnal Sunday evening I write to you from the mind of Tin Shed Theatre Co.<br />
<br />
To fill you in, keep you posted and blow the dust off this crusty old blog.<br />
<br />
Where have we been? Busy.<br />
<br />
What have we been doing? Loads.<br />
<br />
This summer was long and erratic and eclectic. We saw ourselves undertaking a whole host of work from personal to educational, community driven to commission based. We got to work with a whole host of artists, non-artists, actors, young people and festival goers. It was glorious. I'll take you through the highlights (so to speak) before moving on to an announcement we've been dying to make!<br />
<br />
<br />
<i><b><u>Le Flea Du Cirque</u></b></i><br />
<br />
Our seminal music festivals work <i>Le Flea (Du Cirque) </i>got a big cash injection, and an overhaul both in performancely and through beautiful set design, as we worked with the WONDERFUL DOESN'T DO HER JUSTICE Theatre Designer, Camilla Blair, who took on the arduous task of turning our tiny circus tent into a wonderspace of pure joy and imagination.<br />

Performing at The Big Splash Festival, Newport, and at Greenman Fest 2016: Both truly soul-filling experiences. Thank you to The Riverfront and the Greenman team for your ongoing support and commitment to our work.<br />

<b><i><u>HATCH: Sumer School</u></i></b><br />
<b><i><u><br /></u></i></b>
Earlier this year we launched HATCH our own brand of weekly Youth Engagement for young people interested in creating theatre. Running a HATCH Summer School out of The Riverfront in Newport, we saw record breaking attendance resulting in two awesome performances that included participants from the age of 5-19 working across disciplines to create unique work.<br />

This possibly isn't a highlight, but it was a moment of pure play for us, when we were given the opportunity to create two new characters for the <a href="https://twitter.com/ArtEdNetSEWales" target="_blank">Arts & Education Network South East Wales</a> networking event at The Riverfront.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sue and Susan want to assist you with your networking needs. With a host of ridiculous questions such as "Would you rather fight a bear or a shark?" and "Did you know the Dalai Lama is not an actual lama?" they match you with other delegates based on your compatibility.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We're excited about these two and already have "Sue and Susan's Social Mixer" on the drawing board for Valentines Day. Watch this space.</div>

<b>Now for the announcement.</b></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>We are so pleased to be able to finally say we have been accepted on <a href="http://www.theatriolo.com/" target="_blank">Theatre Iolo's</a> Platfform Scheme Year 2.</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You can check out a little more <a href="http://platfform.cymru/artists/" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We will be in residency at <a href="http://www.thewelfare.co.uk/" target="_blank">The Welfare</a> theatre in Ystradgynlais creating a piece of original work for young people... and at this stage, that is literally all we know.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's so exciting to be involved in a development scheme that feels not only completely authentic, but un-auteured. We are the holders of our own process, exploration, outcomes and ideas, whilst having an immensely talented and supportive team behind us. After some initial meetings with a few of the Iolo team, and two days watching some brilliant works in progress at <a href="http://www.theatreroyal.org.uk/page/3030/the-egg" target="_blank">The Egg</a>, Theatre Royal Bath, we feel utterly inspired and honoured to be a part of it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As a company we have been commissioned numerous times to make work for young people, and have occasionally done so ourselves from necessity to stay afloat. Each and every time we have made work of this nature, it has been heartfelt and impassioned, but never truly free to be detached from external design or demand. Now, here, with Platfform we find ourselves a little overwhelmed with possibilities, but completely exhilarated by the possibilities.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
That's all for now.</div>

<br />
More and more am I becoming agitated by a barrage of "good reviews". I'm talking now from a theatre viewpoint, but I think my disparity exists across multiple platforms.<br />
<br />
I remember when I was in Edinburgh performing a solo show and flat sharing with a small independent theatre company to save some monies and make new friends. One night we were all sat around talking about the ruthlessness of Edinburgh. How one day you can be high on it all partying, celebrating and seeing great art, the next day you can be sucking your tears out of the Scottish gutters because you can't afford a bottle of water. Anyone whose been might know what I'm on about.<br />
<br />
I was mainly an observer of this conversation, and as it happened the company had equal reason to celebrate and suck tears. They'd had a 5 star review and a 1 star review of the same show on the same day. In fairness the show was not for everybody, but the attitude that presented it's self annoyed me slightly. Of the 5 star review: They agreed whole heartily with each poignant statement and transformed it into some sort of gospel account of their "awe-inspiring" work. It would become the poster quote. Of the 1 star review: They concluded that the reviewer was a stupid twat who didn't know his arse from his elbow let alone his Kierkegaard from his... I dunno... Rumplestein or something. It would become tomorrows chip paper and hopefully never see daylight.<br />
<br />
This rang alarm bells for me, and made me question a few things. As theatre makers, is our culture as artists to be so obsessed with the materials of reward that we become blinkered to the possible faults in our own work? By assuming the reviewer we've never met is right and the other is entirely wrong, do we choose to forget objectivity and opinion in search of promotion and inflating our own brittle self esteem? Do we forgo self analysis in pursuit of the comfortability of propping up the belief we've made good work?<br />
<br />
Was this us? Without realising it had we become the kind of theatre makers that only shared and celebrated the good, whilst cursing and sticking two fingers up to the bad, based on no other fact other than: they didn't like us as much.<br />
<br />
All we can really agree on is that reviews are just a persons opinion, albeit a person who has been trusted with the job of viewing, deconstructing and commenting on something, but still one persons opinion. In actuality they should count for very little, but their power over audiences cannot be denied. A good review can make a show, but more importantly break one.<br />
<br />
After retelling this story to George and Antonio (when he was in the company of course) we made a decision: We would share ALL REVIEWS*.<br />
<br />
Now, none of this is to say that the bad reviews aren't wrong and the good reviews aren't right, they of course are to someone. I'm also not saying that we should listen to everything and have no opinion or faith in our own work. But by choosing to promote only the four and five starers we assist in the construction of the idea that this one individuals voice is the collectives voice, and it's not. I've seen a one star show that blew me away, and so it goes that the reviewer and I have very different tastes.<br />
<br />
So how can we combat this (if you want to)?<br />
<br />
By sharing them all we offer a level of honesty and transparency to our work. We offer the public a plethora of opinion and subject matter for them to draw their own conclusions. We don't pull wool over eyes, or negotiate an audience into our seats on our own terms. We offer the good, the bad, and the really bloody ugly, and let people decipher their own truth from that.<br />
<br />
As a company, when we share only the good we don't offer the audience the chance to be intrigued by conflicting opinions, we don't open the doors for them to come and view the work and decide for themselves. We bring them in on only the assumption that we're great... No really, we are, Broadway Baby said so. We also begin to support the idea that only "good theatre" (in the eyes of the few) should be seen, we don't listen to our audiences, but the publications.<br />
<br />
More importantly we corrupt our integrity as artists. We lose objectivity, and we aren't forced by cause to rethink our rehearsal room decisions. We buy into the ideas supported by the anonymous voices.<br />
<br />
The tweets we received last year for three shows we toured offered us more truth and a clearer idea of what people want from theatre than any of the professional reviews we got. We retweeted them all, the good, the bad and the really bloody ugly.<br />
<br />
Because if we're going to share the good, we should share bad, or share nothing at all.<br />
<br />

Another company whose activity I've been really interested in lately is Doppelgangster. They shared a startling 1* review of their show Titanic and nothing made me want to see it more. They've further subverted the pedagogy of "reviewing" in the past by reviewing their audience.<br />

Translation from Incorrect-Brutal-Northern-Stereotyped-Phonetics to Boring-Normal-English:<br />
<br />
Hello.<br />
<br />
I've just spent the past three days up North in the beautiful, vibrant, bustling, industrial, interesting, historic-like, rock n roll, cream phone boxed, founded-on-whaling, gritty city of Hull!<br />
<br />
HUZZAR!<br />
<br />
As a representative of Tin Shed Theatre Co and under the warm embracing umbrella of the super lovely and proactive <a href="http://articulture-wales.co.uk/" target="_blank">Articulture</a>, I, along with five other Welsh Delegates (<a href="http://chloeloftus.co.uk/" target="_blank">Chloe Loftus Dance</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/kitschnsynccollective/" target="_blank">Kitsch N Sync</a>, <a href="http://migrations.uk/home" target="_blank">Migrations</a>, <a href="http://marcrees.com/" target="_blank">Marc Reese</a>, and <a href="http://citrusarts.squarespace.com/" target="_blank">Citrus Arts</a>), found myself immersed in a world of outdoor arts, with artists, producers, funders, makers, doers and sayers at the <a href="http://www.isanuk.org/" target="_blank">ISAN</a> Outdoor Arts Conference 2015.<br />
<br />
The conference was taking place in the Hull Truck Theatre, and it just so happened that a few years ago I read Mike Bradwell's book <i>The Reluctant Escapologist</i> which explained that he ended up founding The Hull Truck Theatre. Since then I've always wanted to visit, and I'm happy to say in a two pronged attack of visiting the theatre, seeing it's spaces, and getting what I could out of the conference, I got a whole lot more than I bargained for.<br />
<br />

<br />
With two days of seminars, talks, breakout discussions, lunch breaks, pitches and opportunities to network, I have to admit my brain did feel a bit like it was going to explode, but I left the conference feeling completely inspired and utterly galvanised. Not only to carry on creating and making work happen outdoors, and not only to do it better and more effectively, but most importantly of all to do it more collaboratively. Through this transaction...<br />
<br />

I mean, look at this swathe of people, all of whom are connected in someway to the creation of outdoor art. Whether it be from a funding point of view, in a practical sense, for festivals or carnivals and the spaces in-between, or the creation of work for children, adults, both and all. For communities, for schools, for towns for villages, for one person and for all people. ISAN presented a remarkable opportunity for me to see a part of this sector I'd been otherwise blind to over the past few years. It was like being at Birthday Party where everyone was the Birthday Boy/Girl who all had a mutual passion for making stuff happen, and thats when it dawned on me. This isn't a room of delegates, it's a room of co-collaborators. It's a room of energy. It's a room exciting opportunities and a fruitful future.<br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm not great at chin wagging, I'm especially not good at talking about my own work. Kathryn and LJ from <a href="http://www.mischieflabas.co.uk/" target="_blank">Mischeif Le-Bas</a> who sat next to me for dinner in The Deep will vouch for me on that as I struggled to articulate what Tin Shed does, but had a great big fat chat about tattoo's, Glasgow and the habbits of cats and dogs. But I found comfort in knowing these people gathered, I felt inspired by their stories and triumphs, their resilience to the bastards, their acceptance of the circumstance and there almost innate need to make stuff happen and celebrate life with people who might not typically do so.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'll surmise, in order to keep this sweet and neat and brief (and honestly, my brain is a fart, and I'm still processing it all), but I have left with a new appreciation for the people who endeavour to make work happen outdoors, because it seems like fundamentally what they want to do is connect people to something amazing, to introduce people who assume "art" is not for them to something that could potentially be an enriching and powerful life changing experience and let them know that it's for everyone, and if theres one thing I <i>can</i> say about Tin Shed it's: We are with you on that.</div>

The second Molecule of the year is over.<br />

Stephen Donnelly has officially left the building.<br />

But what a week...<br />

<br />
Last night we opened the doors of The Project Space to an audience of around 20 (small but o-so perfectly formed) who had come for some sort of performance show back, and left having shared an experience.<br />
<br />
Steve's work doesn't use characters, it's comes at you unrehearsed with a beautiful anarchic honesty. He looks his audience in the eye, opens with "Hi, I'm Steve. I've been in Newport for ten days, and I think I deserve a party" and immediately readjusts our expectation of the event and removes the veil between "audience" and "performer".<br />
<br />
Steve's work was hinged on his encounters of death and loosing somebody, whilst taking strong influence and opinion from the world around him, the world around him this week was Newport.<br />
<br />
People wrote engaged with Steve. Walking off the street into the gallery space of The Project Space they were invited to sit down, have a cup of tea and talk about dead people. There thoughts were logged in someway, and they were invited to write them on post it notes, luggage tags and windows.<br />
<br />
At the end of the night, when it had all culminated quite wonderfully, G and I were extremely happy with the way the second Molecule of the year turned out. We just hope Steve found it a fruitful worthwhile experience. After Dino's fantastic development in February we're very happy to add Stephen Donnelly to our list of "Molecule" users, and we hope that both these productions find a life after Newport.<br />
<br />
Thank you to anyone who attended last nights sharing and supported both Steve and us. We partied hard, played games, competed in a sibling type olympics and even walked the cold hard streets of Newport.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">A quick Molecule tick list.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
- Firstly we here in the shed would like to thank everyone who took the time to apply for Molecule, your interest in the project is reward to us, and we hope the individual feedback we gave to all applicants is helpful in some way shape or form, but your application will always stand as an introduction, and we'd love to get to know some of you more.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
- Secondly I'd like to thank the newly formed Molecule Panel; Tahnee Craven, Paul Jenkins, Christina Handke and Fez Miah. We sat and read and stewed and guessed and talked for hours, and it is very much appreciated.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
- Thirdly thank you to everyone who came to support Dino in "Molecule - The Winter Cell" earlier in February. It was such an amazing turn out which offered him some valuable feedback. He's now going on to produce the piece and hopefully tour it very soon.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
- Fourthly we need <i>your</i> help. Details below.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
Done.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
So whose next?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
Well his name is <i>Stephen Donnelly,</i> and his proposed project is called <i>How Do The Dead Live?</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><br /></i>
We love the concept and are so excited about working with him on it's early development.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
Here's all about him and it:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I am a Swanseabased performer and theatre maker creating work that encourages
audiences to perform, explore and experience their surroundings in unexpected ways.
My work has been shown in the cities of Swansea, Cardiff, Bristol, Leeds and
Manchester and has been hosted at Wales Millennium Centre, Chapter, Bristol Old Vic,
Forest Fringe Edinburgh and London’s Southbank Centre.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
My work regularly uses site responsive performance in urban environments, direct
address, autobiography, games and audience participation. I use humour and honesty to
reexamine the relationships between the personal and the social, inviting the audience
to reimagine their surroundings and encourage social and personal criticism. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
These are
things I try to do myself daytoday.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I like to animate audiences, encourage them to experience their surroundings in new
ways. This usually involves introducing games, play and new narratives into spaces,
giving audiences permission to reimagine their relationship with the spaces they inhabit
everyday. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
The best results for me are when audiences start to challenge me to new ways of thinking,
actions and possibilities. I like being as honest with audiences as possible as it prevents
me, or them, from hiding. </span><br />

<u><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Project</span></b></u><br />
<u><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">How Do The Dead Live?</span></b></u><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><u><b><br /></b></u>
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"The question I will ask myself and others through Molecule is: ‘How, and Where, do the Dead Live?’'</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I personally don't think there is ‘another side’, a place where the dead sit in the clouds being pestered by Derrick Okora. I don’t think they spend eternity knocking about graveyards either. They are lost, but there are ways in which we find the spirits and energies of the ones we miss amongst the nooks and crannies of everyday life; in the gaps between teeth, the memorized lines of favourite films and songs and in the sound of a spoons scraping the last dribbles of strawberry sundaes out of their glasses. The Dead live through us, in our memories and through our senses."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I want to use Molecule to develop a new participatory theatre piece which broadens the discussion from just my own experiences to include others and offer opportunities for myself, other participants in the devising process and the audience to share and evoke memories of their lost ones.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><u><span style="font-family: inherit;">Can You Help?</span></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><u><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></u></b></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The whole idea for this project started with my own loss. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My younger brother Paul was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer aged 16. Despite several operations and rounds of chemotherapy I lost a best friend, music appreciation compadre and someone to wind-up endlessly with random noises and stupid jokes, in October 2008. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">On the first anniversary of Paul’s death, family and friends journeyed to Llangennith beach to pay respects and lay flowers in the waters we surfed as children. It was a stormy day; cold, wet, funny, sad.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Since then our family have continued the annual pilgrimage to Llangennith but last year I realised that, for me, Paul was no longer there; he didn't live down the beach perpetually young, covered in wet caking sand waiting for me to bring him flowers. He never even liked flowers as far as I can remember; he'd probably prefer to be brought Surf and Turf and a pint. It’s a ritual that for me doesn’t do what it used to, it is broken. This map of grief is out of date, it’s routes’ in need of renewal.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A big part of ‘Where the Dead Live’ for me are the spaces of everyday life; That's where I remember Paul and my friend Jay who past away a few years ago. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">____________________________________</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: bold;">I want to talk with willing participants about their loved ones in the places they remember them, recording discussions and important routes, tastes and smells. I'd like to use this research to create a fun and surreal guided tour which will incorporate games, direct address and audience participation, inviting people to collectively re-enact and re-enliven the memories. Elements from the tour may be performed or shown pre-recorded as part of the Molecule sharing at Project Space on the 29th.</span></div>
<div>

A month ago we received an email from Greenman Festival. It was enquiry about a walk about submission George made over a year ago. They were interested in opening up a discussion with us about what we might be able to offer…<br />

GM: “So… Do you have something?”<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
US: “Ummm… Sort of. We have a tent, and we have an idea of something we’d like to put inside the tent.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
GM: “What’s the idea?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
US: “Well, we’ve always loved the idea of creating a circus”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
GM: “Excellent, so you guys are circus performers?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
US: “No”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
GM: “Oh…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
US: “But what we want to make is a bad circus”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
GM: “A bad circus?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
US: “A tiny, awful, terrible circus, that’s brilliant because it’s terrible”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
GM: “Okay, welcome aboard”<o:p></o:p></div>

I have to point out this is an entirely fictional gist of our very positive conversations with Green.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But after a bit of emailing back and forth, some drawing, some thinking, some mending, some convincing we gathered a group and organised an impromptu photo shoot with Eminent Photography.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We’re not the kind of company to sit on our mitts, when we have an idea we act. However, through this process of development I have learnt something about us. We’re a very responsive theatre company. We tend to need an injection, a destination, a tangible ending before we really become motivated to make.<o:p></o:p></div>

So in responding to an offer, we have been on a rapid quick journey toward a creative destination.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Le Flea Du Cirque has become a cheese-injected-caotic-ever-moving-miniature-circus-diorama that encompasses everything vintage and classical whilst focusing on beauty of the art forms that exist within. We pastiche the world of the all American Circus whilst paying homage to our stylistic roots in French Clowning, German Expressionism, the art of Tom Foolery and our own brand of noise and cartoon violence.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Look out Greenman, our teeny tiny fun packed circus is coming for you.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We hope that if you’re attending you can pop in and catch a marshmallow in your mouth.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Below is a splurge of all we've been doing...</div>

with the obligatory apology, mainly to justin, for being so absent from blog
writing entries. Its one of those things, a bit like a diary that you kind of
need to get into the swing of but inevitably by january 16</span><sup><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">th</span></span></sup><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"> and

the year and have produced 2 tours in the space of 3 months which have
travelled the country, hence why if you see either myself or Justin we seem to
have a relatively blank and drained look about us. Not to mention most recently
taking part in NIA's project 'Beneath the Surface' which saw us share stories
and experiences in a performance-esque promenade fashion in the project space
in Newport. </span></span></div>

bidding the cast a fond fair-well at a service station in bristol, I became
increasingly aware that I had neither packed, prepared nor given much thought
to the week ahead. On monday I was due to head off to rural mid wales and
attend a weeks worth of training with Walk The Plank.</span></span></div>

day and night pulling together all the relevant camping gear that, since last
years festival season, required serious de-mould attention. The other major
task prior to my departure was to write lists and leave apologetic voicemail
messages stating that I would be out of signal until the following sunday, I
realised that I had not prized myself away from the digital realm for the
duration of my professional career. </span></span></div>

Newport's concrete jungle farewell and set off towards destination unknown. The
beauty of the landscape that began to surround me was astounding and after a
quick pitt stop to take in the mountain I had found myself atop, I pressed on.
Apprehensions were beginning to build as I thought to myself what it would be
like immersing myself in an environment full of artists I had never met, nor
worked with in the past. What if we didnt get on? What if I felt out of my
depth? all these questions rushed through my head as I approached the site. </span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">Tent pitched, we began our day with introductions from
Walk The Plank founders Liz and John then our introductions as the creative
practitioners. I quickly realised that the performer heavy cohort I had
expected had become this wonderful mixture of multi platform artists; Arial
performers, Dancers, storytellers, puppeteers, Architects and many more. This
was such a welcome surprise as I tend to spend most of my time either working

torches in hand we climbed the steep inclining, cobbled path to the top, around
a corner past a little stone hut, a bit more path, up some wooden steps and
then... the sky opened up above us and we were no longer shaded by the trees
that hung over the path but surrounded by hills, mountains and from that
hillside grew the castle, Castell-y-Bere. A hushed tone covered the group as we
split and explored the nooks and levels of the surrounding stonework. People
sang into the rocks, danced along the walls and smelt the warm coconut scented
Gorse flowers that lit the walls with its bright yellow glow. </i></span></h4>

of honour, a rather ostentatious young woman set the premise of the wedding as

resembled the black hen from the tale of Taliesin as she handed out grains of
corn and searched for Gwion. Once
up the steps, through the archway and into the main space the castle was alive.
Music resonated around the walls, voices came and colour as vibrant as the
beautiful setting spring sun bought the audience into a living space, the
castle was alive again and we had helped it to breath. Throughout the evening I
observed as groups young and old almost skipped across to hear the next tale
omitting from a hidden space as the evening drew to a close the fires were lit
as we danced and sung songs of Awen to the rising full moon.</span></span></div>

in the fire light as they headed back down the hill. A feeling of great
contentment had come over me, a real warmth as I looked around at Jo dancing
atop a turret with a lit torch, I felt as though we had given something back,
something back to the land and the people that had a connection to it, as I
said, we had helped the castle breath again, and for that night, it lived. With arms around one another we arrived
back in camp to hot chocolate and cheesy quesadillas, we laughed and shared our
experiences of the evening and sang until late by the camp fire ready to do it
all again tomorrow….or so we thought. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="display: inline !important;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">I awoke at 5am, to the sound of a thousand horses
stampeding through the camp and the site of my tent, 2cm above my face, meeting
in the middle, I felt my feet, cold and soggy as I scrambled to pick up my
belongings from the puddle that had risen from beneath me. I unzipped the front
to see flashes of colour darting across the field with arms laden with bags and
quilts as they made a mad dash to the main tent. The rain was torrential,
coupled with a prevailing wind that bulldozed through the valley. Arriving in
the main tent there were a few others whose tents had met an untimely demise as
they laid out their sodden bedclothes. I walked into the catering tent to find
Liz, hugging a mug of tea. ‘How’s your tent?’ she asked, ‘Not good’ I replied,
‘Well if you think yours is bad, have a look at mine’, I peered through the gap
out across the field to see what resembled a large omelet flat against the
grass where once a canvas bell tent had stood. I giggled ‘Oh dear, well yep
you’re right, at least my tent is still standing’ she then proceeded to inform
me that John was still in the flattened structure asleep. We laughed, but knew
that we had a tough morning ahead of us.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="display: inline !important;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">We assembled the team in the main tent and huddled
around the heater that Rob had managed to force back into life. We all knew
what was coming as Liz stood in front of us with an A board and marker pen,
‘Right’ She exclaimed ‘What are our options?’ We discussed amongst us that any
hope of replicating last nights festivities had been washed away by the rain
and the danger of allowing 125 audience members up to the castle would not be a
good idea. We were then faced with 2 outcomes, first to cancel the event. We
knew that people had traveled far and that canceling would only result in
disappointment. We settled on the second, which was to adapt the main tent that
we had been working throughout the week to somewhat of an immersive, warm and
inviting space to bring in the audience to listen to story and song. I felt
privileged to have been part of this decision, that could very easily have been
made without us but was a fantastic lesson in the great British weather and the
potential options that you are faced with. Once again a feeling of ownership
and excitement for a new challenge came over us, but first the de-rig.</span></span></div>

another guest speaker, Gilly Adams who shared with us her role within Walk The
Plank’s WMC spectacular and how she became a dramaturge and what it entails. It
was great to listen to Gilly talk and have the opportunity to ask her
questions. She made particular reference to storytelling and how within theatre
we often lose sight of what is essentially very simplistic storytelling.</span></span></div>

A few people were disheartened at the thought of downscaling so much but more
for the wonderful evening we had experienced the previous night, how would
audiences react? Is something really better than nothing? It was hard to tell. </span></span></div>

the tent and a cup of tea served by cook – come- compare Nicky who took on the
challenge of being the MC for the night. The feeling was contentment and
escapism from the miserable conditions outside, audience huddled around
cuddling hot drinks and loved ones as they listened to stories. Moral quickly
rose, as we were thankful that we too were able to listen to the stories. I
great sense of admiration came over me for the skill in which the storytellers
possessed. Mair especially astounded me with her extremely animated recantation
of the tale of the two young boys and the red otter that I laughed in a way
that I hadn’t done since I was a child. The shadow play was beautiful and again
we lit the fires. As they fizzled out and the audience faded away we sat back
together and laughed again over glasses of wine as we told our own stories of
the week past. We all went to bed full of joy and contentment for another truly
magical and even more so memorable experience. That’s night, most of us slept
in our cars.</span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">The final day was upon us, the end was now in sight
and as we packed up our remaining tents a certain lull was present. We had
nothing more to challenge us, we had completed the week but in a strange way,
although I had longed for a steaming hot bath and a soft bed, I was sad to
leave. For the first time in my professional career I had experienced something
that had truly challenged me in a way that no other project has. I had met some
utterly fantastic people, people who made me think about my art and altered my
preconceptions. I am still digesting the amount I learnt even now, 3 weeks
later.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="display: inline !important;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">We assembled in the village hall for one final chat, a
debrief, a way for us all to evaluate the week. As we read out our goals for
the future an unexpected wave of emotion came over us, we were sharing more than goals, it was
personal. It reminded me that art – to create and be creative runs far deeper
than work, although we often use the term ‘The work’ its deeper than that. It human, and an expression of who we
are and what we want to say. It makes people listen, feel and grow. We as
artists have a gift, a gift that often gets lost in flowery language to entice
people to give you some money to make or the dumbed down talk to help the
layman understand, when inside we’re jumping, screaming to get out and create.
This week helped me think and re evaluate what I have always known but often
found it very difficult to put into words. I am an artist. I value art, I may
not always get it, or struggle to express it, but I value its place in the
world and even more so in my life and in the lives of others. To have the
privilege to be immersed for a week surrounded by so many wonderful artists
within their own right, was an experience that no amount of money could pay
for. The admiration that I have for the bravery of Liz and John is a skill that
I aspire to have one day, to have control but to be strong enough to let others
take the reins of the horse and run with it. A beautiful analogy was raised by
Jo Shapland at the end of the session and one that had particular resonance
with us all. She described the experience as a gorse flower, thorny
and difficult to handle but once at the top, encased in a bright and wonderful
shell of yellow petals was a beautifully sweet smelling flower, that brings
warmth and happiness to the landscape and surrounding hills.</span></span></div>

We're going for a walk around Newport, and we'd love it if you came along.<br />
<br />
NIA (Newport International Airspace) have given us free reign to take a group of willing people on a late night stroll around Newport.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately with all of our touring theatre escapades coming up, we'll be a Georgina down, and what with us permanently Antonio down, that leaves me. So when I say we I mean me. It's a lonesome prospect I'll admit.<br />
<br />
I will be taking people on a walking tour of Newport, travelling back almost a decade ago to when I first moved to the city as a student.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Gareth has been telling people it'll be an excellent evening of fine artery. It won't be.<br />

<br />
I will be your Student Union Rep leading you to all the hollow husks of buildings that were once inhabited by midnight revellers and party junkies like me. Linking each location with spoken word, and causing some beautiful mischief along the way, we will be sharing boozy tales and leaving something behind for Sunday morning.<br />
<br />
So come along and walk an 8 year old memory.<br />
<br />
This Saturday. 7.00pm outside the Murrenger in Newport.<br />
<br />
We'll be cosy and warm back at the Murrenger an hour or so after that.<br />
<br />
It'd be lovely to see you there.<br />
