Cove Park Jerwood Performing Arts Residency /  by Wils Wilson

Coming to the end of 2 wonderful weeks here at Cove Park with Madeleine Worrall and Catriona MacInnes.

I think the ripples of our time here will spread and grow in ways I can't yet even guess. It's been such a privilege to have this time to develop new ideas and a new collaboration.

Thank you to the Jerwood Foundation, Julian and all at Cove Park!

 

Cove Park residency and NT Studio workshop /  by Wils Wilson

Last week I heard that I have been awarded a residency at www.covepark.org this summer to work on the development of a new piece with film-maker Catriona MacInnes and actor Madeleine Worrall.  It's a huge privilege to have this time to experiment and research - in such inspiring surroundings.  Thank you, Cove Park!

This week I am heading down to London to another amazing place - the NT Studio - for a week's development work with Joel Horwood, Arthur Davill and Fly Davis.  New beginnings...

The Insatiable Inflatable Candylion - NTWY5 /  by Wils Wilson

I'm incredibly excited to be part of National Theatre Wales' wonderful programme for its 5th year which was announced this week, which includes a new collaboration between Tim Price and Gruff Rhys and myself, The Insatiable Inflatable Candylion.  

A secular Christmas-time offering, featuring some favourite tracks from Gruff's 2007 album, Candylion and lots of new songs performed by Gruff, this will be a theatre-gig suitable for all ages.  Just don't expect to sit down and sit back...
