What does a theatre company get up to between shows?

Well…

Similarly to the familial meet ups we all engage in over Christmas we took to the road and went a-visiting. Firstly we travelled up to Theatr Clwyd, Mold to listen to a selection of speakers at the Wales Arts Marketing Symposium; they were all fantastic but Andrew McIntyre from Lateral Thinkers was particularly inspiring. Then we were invited to attend the Welsh language Marketing meet up organised by Creu Cymru and held at Arad Goch (lovely building) and finally we enrolled on a two day event with Sheffield Doc/Fest called ‘Convergence Catalyst’ in the incredible Brangwyn Hall. 

So what have we learnt? 

Quite a lot actually. 

But to put it briefly (after all we’ve got Christmas shopping to do) the future is most definitely social! More talking, more supporting, more engaging with companies and audiences alike. 

And just to get the ball rolling…if you ever want to let us know what you think or even just send us a Christmas message, fill out the comment box below, send us an email, follow us on twitter or like us on facebook. We would love to hear from you and have a chat. 

But before we sign off for 2011: to all of you that have laughed, cried and enjoyed the storytelling with us this year, an enormous, heartfelt thanks. Hope to see you all in 2012. 

Nadolig Llawen a Blwyddyn Newydd Dda.
