“I think it’s a good saying for my generation... ‘slow down, you’re doing fine’. It’s reassuring... nowadays, everything is go go go!”

Lilly Grace Beaumont was captured by young storyteller Thomas R.N. Leonard at Stiwdio 3, Cardigan.

Meet Thomas

I am an emerging Welsh creative working in theatre and film, based in the Neath Port Talbot area. Drawing from contemporary European theatre practice, my work ranges from leading community-based creative workshops to high-end theatrical performances, centred around lived LGBTQ+ and Neurodivergent experiences.

I am Non-Binary. I was raised in Sgiwen, an ex-mining village between Neath and Port Talbot. In my spare time, I enjoy writing, reading, making and listening to music, and consuming too much on-and-offline media.
