National Theatre Wales Promoters Pack National Theatre Wales _ Promoters Pack “ Since its inception, National Theatre Wales have never been afraid to ask what theatre is and what it might be.” _ The Guardian UK 2 of 17 National Theatre Wales _ Promoters Pack National Theatre Wales _ The nation of Wales is our stage. We collaborate with people and places to make extraordinary theatre that inspires change. From the intimate to the epic, our work is powerful, brave and unexpected. Created in Wales, with a global outlook, we are the English-language national theatre of Wales. nationaltheatrewales.org @NTWTweets National Theatre Wales 3 of 17 National Theatre Wales _ Promoters Pack Our Story _ National Theatre Wales has been making English-language productions in locations all over Wales, the UK, internationally and online since March 2010. We operate from a small base in Cardiff’s city centre, but we work all over the country and beyond, using Wales’ rich and diverse landscape, its towns, cities and villages, its incredible stories and rich talent as our inspiration. Our audiences have followed us and Michael Sheen around his hometown, Port Talbot, to watch The Passion, and returned to the town in 2017 for We’re Still Here, a new production tackling the global steel crisis. Some partied with Neon Neon (Gruff Rhys & Boom Bip) in Cardiff and Berlin, learning the extraordinary story of Italian publisher Giangiacomo Feltrinelli, in Praxis Makes Perfect. Hundreds climbed the foothills of Snowdon to hear poems by the National Poet of Wales, Gillian Clarke and witness first-hand the annual sheep-gathering, at The Gathering/Yr Helfa. Many watched a marathon, overnight performance of Iliad in Llanelli. People donned boots to experience Mametz, written by poet Owen Sheers and staged in farmland near Usk – the show offered a chilling glimpse of life and death in a WWI trench. More than 140,000 were in Cardiff to witness Roald Dahl’s City of the Unexpected, Wales’ biggest ever arts event, staged to commemorate the writer’s centenary on the streets of his hometown. And thousands joined us online for Tim Price’s award-winning The Radicalisation of Bradley Manning, learning about a teenager in Pembrokeshire who grew to be one of the world’s most influential and divisive political figures. Others watched across the globe our live online broadcast of Tide Whisperer in Tenby, tackling the global phenomenon of displacement and mass movement. These are just some of the 60+ productions we’ve staged on trains, military training grounds, beaches and mountains, in warehouses, nightclubs, cricket schools, tents, village halls, schools, aircraft hangars and libraries, all over towns like Barmouth, Laugharne, Rhyl and Aberystwyth, online and in apps, and in cities from Swansea to Tokyo. 4 of 17 National Theatre Wales _ Promoters Pack “ The company deliberately splices tradition and innovation.” _ Financial Times UK 5 of 17 National Theatre Wales _ Promoters Pack Achievements _ CIM Marketing Excellence Awards 2018 UK Theatre Award 2014 Finalists Best Design (Sarah Vining Marketing Consultancy in Partnership with Jon Bausor for Mametz National Theatre Wales and Wales Millennium Centre, for Roald Dahl’s City of the Unexpected) (Inaugural) James Tait Black Prize for Drama 2013 The Radicalisation Of Bradley Manning by Tim Price SMA National Stage Management Awards 2017 Best Stage Management Team Theatre Critics of Wales Awards 2013 For Roald Dahl’s City of the Unexpected Coriolan/Us _ Best Production in the English Language Cardiff Life Platinum Award 2017 _ Best Male Performance in the English Language (Richard Lynch) For Roald Dahl’s City of the Unexpected _ Best Music and Sound (John Hardy & Mike Beer) Cardiff Life Awards 2017 The Radicalisation of Bradley Manning Best Event — Best Ensemble (Matthew Aubrey, Harry Ferrier, Gwawr Loader, For Roald Dahl’s City Of The Unexpected Kyle Rees, Anjana Vasan & Sion Daniel Young) — Best Director (John E McGrath) Wales Theatre Awards 2017 — Best use of Digital / Online Content Best Sound (National Theatre Wales / Native HQ / Tom Beardshaw) Gruff Rhys for The Insatiable, Inflatable Candylion Little Dogs The Space Prize 2014 — Best Design (Tim Dickel) A new, biennial £20,000 Digital Theatre Award presented by The Space and BBC Writersroom Empty Space...

Based on a model of empowerment, leadership and co-creation, TEAM has changed the way an arts organisation collaborates with communities. In developing the skills of individuals, we support them to create their own futures. In turn, TEAM members are our partners in all our work, making decisions with us at every level of NTW and shaping how the organisation grows. Our TEAM network is unique. It spans all art forms, ages and abilities and is regarded as a leader in its field. It is a global network. Membership extends beyond Wales with 1000+ supporters worldwide. So far we’ve been building bridges, making friends and sharing best practice with partnerships in Australia, Brazil, India and North America. Education runs through all the work we do. Our aim is to nurture the next generation of leaders through our projects with young people. We facilitate the development of TEAM members through a programme of creative collaborations, training activities and mentoring, delivered through the TEAM Education strand. TEAM is part of The Agency, a creative entrepreneurship programme enabling young people, aged 15-25, to create social change projects based on the needs of their communities. The programme is based on Agência de Redes para Juventude, founded by Marcus Faustini in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 2011.

By focusing on creative exploration, we have helped artists to explore bold creative collaborations, to question their practice, and be brave with their artistic ambitions. In October 2017, NTW launched its biggest ever Creative Development programme, which brings this work together with the company’s own research and development processes. The Creative Development programme supports the development of artists and new performance work through the use of networks, peer support, mentoring, bespoke opportunities for artistic exploration, curation, and critical feedback. It builds on NTW’s strength in location, community building and digital connection to inspire the next generation of artists and audiences engaging in unique theatrical experiences of quality, ambition and innovation. A vital strand of National Theatre Wales’ Creative Development is international exchange. We have hosted artists from across the globe, including Australia, Bangladesh, India, Japan, Uganda, S.Korea & across Europe. And collaborated on international residencies to create valuable and extraordinary development opportunities for artists.

  • Chapter One – „Digital Technology and Theatres‟……………………………………7
    Technology; Theatres, Plays and Performance Submitted for assessment to the University of the West of England 2011 for Drama and Creative Writing degree award. Copyright: Hannah Williams Walton 2011 Photo from the Blast Theory website: http://www.blasttheory.co.uk/bt/index.php Abstract Technology is now an integral part of modern society from the internet; to computers, mobile phones and gaming. It is clear that technology has made massive advances to society in terms of connecting the world however we must also examine the disciplines which may be struggling to adapt. The world of arts and theatre is a form that is routed in tradition which brings limitations in how far people are willing to push against normal conventions. This dissertation explores three sections of technology within theatre. „Digital Technology and Theatres‟ which explores the impact that the internet has had on the theatre in terms of marketing; and participation in the arts; looking at specific theatre websites, and the services Digital Theatre and National Theatre Live. „Technology and the internet in contemporary plays‟ looks at Tim Fountain‟s play Sex Addicts that uses the internet live during performance, and the work that contemporary playwrights have developed to stage modern technology within their work. From Patrick Marber‟s chatroom scene in Closer, to Chatroom by Enid Walsh that is set almost entirely in a virtual world. „Digital Performance‟ explores theatre companies and practitioners that are pushing the boundaries between performance and technology, to create contemporary pieces of theatre. The research identified Connected an organisation dedicated to working with artists who use live and interactive media; this included Duncan Speakmen, Hide and Seek and Blast Theory.

  • Open Culture: National Theatre Wales by John Mcgrath Guimarães, Open City Project August 2012
    Open Culture: National Theatre Wales by John McGrath Guimarães, Open City Project August 2012 National Theatre Wales is a new theatre for an old but emerging nation. Part of the UK for many centuries, Wales now has a semi-independent government with control over key services such as health, education, and culture. As part of this shift in powers two new theatre companies were created in Wales – Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru and National Theatre Wales. Both company names mean the same thing but in two different languages – Welsh (TGC), the native language of the country spoken by about 25% of the population, and English (NTW), which is spoken by everyone but associated with the big neighbour across the border. So NTW has, of its essence, a complex relationship to nation and identity. Like all theatre companies in the UK however, it is run as an independent organisation not as a government entity. So when I was invited, with a small group of colleagues, to set up the company in 2009 we were free to find our own answers to the questions facing us. Landscape As well as the question of language, a number of other factors about theatre in Wales fed into our thinking: Wales has a relatively small population (3 million) spread quite thinly across the country. While there are some cities, the largest (Cardiff) has a population of just 300,000, and there is a historic distrust of centralisation. The option of a national theatre based in a large building in the capital city was not an idea that had much support.

  • JUST ANNOUNCED Gruff Rhys + London Contemporary Orchestra
    JUST ANNOUNCED Gruff Rhys + London Contemporary Orchestra Wednesday 12 September 2018 / Barbican Hall / 19:30 Tickets £17.50 – £25.00 plus booking fee Iconic Welsh musician and artist Gruff Rhys appears at the Barbican, joined by the London Contemporary Orchestra (LCO), to perform material from his forthcoming album Babelsberg – released on 8 June on Rough Trade. This record is his sixth solo outing and second release on Rough Trade since 2007’s Candylion. Babelsberg was originally recorded in 2016, but the songs were put into hibernation until additional scores were added by composer Stephen McNeff and performed by the National Orchestra of Wales, eighteen months later. The record focuses on misplaced optimism with Rhys noting the Tower of Babel as an inspiration, stating of his thought-process ‘people building towers to reach an idea of heaven (but maybe creating a kind of hell)’.The evening will also feature material from Rhys’ celebrated back catalogue. Rhys’ numerous creative endeavours, atop his work in Super Furry Animals and as a solo artist, includes electro-pop act Neon Neon. It was with Neon Neon that Rhys last appeared as part of the Barbican contemporary music programme at Village Underground in 2013. As a collaborator Rhys has recorded and performed with Gorillaz, Mogwai, Manic Street Preachers and many more. For his concert in the Barbican Hall he will team up with LCO, an ensemble that has worked with Radiohead, Frank Ocean, and last performed at the Barbican in March of this year alongside John Cale.
