Saturday and Sunday - Drop In from 11am Ages – 8+N.B – Warm Clothing is Essential as this workshop takes place outdoorsWorkshop Space: Wind Tunnel (ground floor)

Andy DIMEONE Birch will be on hand to show you his talent as a graffiti artist: From his first blast of a spray can, he knew he was doing it for art’s sake rather than mindless tagging. “I’d always been into drawing and it was my way of not only expressing myself, but also getting an identity when I was at school.”Most of Andy’s work is done with the spray can, which he still finds is a good way of getting physically involved in his art and channelling his emotions. And he enjoys encouraging young people to do the same in his graffiti workshops. “Everything always begins on paper,” he said. “I show how I structure letters, taking elements of how signwriters work). Let Andy show you the tricks of the trade like adding 3D onto letters, looking at light perspective and adding characters to one of his exceptional murals at Venue Cymru.

The National Theatre -

Commedia dell’Arte Workshops

Saturday and Sunday 11am – 1pm

2pm – 4pm

Ages: Family Workshops suitable from ages

12+ N.B –This event is bookable, and if you

have the take pART attitude you can attend

from a younger age

Workshop Space: Padarn Room (second floor)

Around the themes of the best new play winner

One Man Two Guvnors The National Theatre will

be offering a practical workshop to explore the

roots of Commedia dell’Arte using improvisation,

physical theatre and storytelling Commedia dell’arte is shortened from ‘commedia

dell’arte all’improviso’, meaning ‘comedy through the art/craft of improvisation’, but also translates

as ‘comedy of the guild’; One Man, Two Guvnors is an adaptation of The Servant of Two Masters.

Richard Bean, the playwright, has altered the names of characters, relocated the geographical

setting, and changed various plotting points, but the play is still recognisably based upon Goldoni’s

original. The production incorporates elements of variety, music hall, pantomime, standup comedy,

and end-of-the-pier shows; all of which, in varying degrees, owe something to the

genre of commedia. Commedia has its origins in improvisation and this has been

retained in One Man Two Guvnors when the central character, Francis, interacts with

the audience. By getting audience members on to stage to help him move the trunk,

or asking them for suggestions on where he should take Dolly on their first date,

the production is combining traditional commedia with twentieth century comedy.

One Man Two Guvnors is at Venue Cymru from Wednesday 2nd -

Saturday 5th January 2013. Workshop attendees can have tickets

for the show for just £10 each.

Workshop Space Meeting Room 2

Mathew first ventured into the Music Business at the tender age of 11 when he first picked up a pair

of drumsticks, after his Father insisted that he learn to read music, he grudgingly set about the

laborious task of learning his new trade, not sat at a drum kit, but sat at a table learning Musical theory

from a book! However once he had proved his ability to read music his Father bought him his first

drum kit. From that day onwards he began his love affair with the drums. From taking this method

Mathew has been taken on many a musical journey that he could never have managed without the

firm theoretical foundations. Mathew has gone on to perform professionally with his talent, as well as

teaching when ever he finds the time - his students cannot speak highly enough of ‘Matty’ and the fun

they have in his sessions. Mathew teaches the drums for Yamaha music as well as touring throughout

the country with his remarkable singing voice. Mathew will be running drumming sessions for just 5

people at a time so booking is highly recommended.
