Prague Quadrennial Gallery Returns!

(Apologies) However we have now brought them back and we'll be adding to them over time. Currently we galleries include PQ National Exhibit photos, Peter Schumann workshop, Nori Sawa's puppet photos and some images … [Read More...]

Support Scenography

Scenography Members will know that this month we had to close our Scenography Portfolios. I've worked on this website for nearly ten years and it was a heartbreaking moment for me. The global recession impacted hard upon our revenue. And we'd been lagging behind some bill payments for some time, in-fact I was topping up or deficit our of my own pocket.

Musings of a Jobbing Designer: Adventures as a freelancer 1985 -2009

After the collapse of Theatr Cymru at the beginning of 1984, I had to decide whether to upsticks and seek pastures new or stay and be part of the new developments that were taking place in Wales: I chose the latter. It became clear very quickly that another mainstream company was not going to rise from the ashes of Theatr Cymru. The Arts Council embarked on a policy of project funding.
