In a series of 3 workshops, you will contribute to the research and development of a new piece of outdoor community co-created theatre.  The sessions will see participants responding to the above statements and will provide a vital dramatic space for the voices, opinions and experience of all those who live and work in rural Wales.

Workshops will be run by Andrew Sterry (Pentabus) and Jani Nightchild (Baseline) and help develop this exciting new Theatre project.

Deploying poetry, dance, circus skills and song, The Last Supper will be a multilingual piece of theatre in which a local community cast performs alongside professional actors and musicians.  Made up of a core team of creatives, responsible for such ground-breaking productions as The Passion, Mametz, Galwad and Ceres, the piece will built on the experiences and talents of the local community, and incorporate these to help produce a timely, urgent and hugely enjoyable piece of theatre.  The piece will explore how, when it comes to food, water and our ecology, change is not just vital, but also possible.

Writer – Owen Sheers   /   Director – Gethin Evans   /   Producer – Natalia Colville
