NATIONAL THEATRE WALES

Assembly

A different kind of creative opportunity

National Theatre Wales Assembly programme will be running alongside our main productions and will offer opportunities to experience theatre as a space for exploration, discussions and shared experiences.

The event might take place in the same spaces as the main shows, or somewhere very different: The library, the pub, the playground, the park, the community centre or the launderette– We’ll work with local residents to discover the right place to inhabit for a week.

Working with a teams of local musicians, performers, artists, filmmakers, hairdressers, bakers, shop assistant, bus drivers, dog owners, tea drinkers etc...We’ll create an evening of performances and discussions about what really matters in this particular place at this particular time.

Join us at the Valleys Assembly

The Valleys Assembly investigated the perception of the Valleys: Between different Valleys, from the Valleys looking out and from the outside looking in.

When Tracy in A Good Night Out in the Valleys asks, "when does the future start?" she is asking us how can we move forward when some people are intent on staying-or keeping us-in the past.

Join us at the Cardiff Assembly

Cardiff is known as a young city. The youngest capital in Europe. Apparently 42% of the population is under 30 years old. So where do the older people fit in? Do young people feel that it is a city that belongs to them? How do intergenerational conflicts exist in Cardiff today?

Join us at the Brecon Assembly

What is Brecon guarding and protecting?
The Brecon Assembly will look at how the town's location and landscape has made it a highly protected and instrumental centre for the cultural, ecological and technological development of Britain, and how the different communities live for, with or through it.
