Jess, the pioneering Cardigan-based band that has influenced Welsh music since its early success in the 1980s. Formed in 1985 by Brychan Llŷr, Chris Lewis and Emyr Pen-lan, with Owen Thomas joining soon afterwards on drums, Jess became Wales’s first professional Welsh-language band. The group toured extensively across Wales and Europe, including appearances at major festivals such as Glastonbury, and remains highly influential today.
What makes CATSGAM unusual, if not unique, is that twenty seven years, five albums and countless live performances later, the band is still gigging – and still friends! Formed in 1997, the five piece from South East Wales quickly established their own distinctive style of guitar-based melodic rock built around Rhys Harries’s powerful songwriting and the instantly recognisable vocals of Catrin Brooks.
Audio description is a live commentary interspersed with the actors' dialogue. This is relayed via a headset linked to the infra-red audio system. There is a short 'programme notes' session, before the production, which explains the atmosphere, costumes, characters and action.
BSL
British Sign Language Performance
Signed performances are ideal for those who use sign language. Trained British Signed Language (BSL) signers usually stand to one side of the stage and interpret the script used by the performers at the same time as it is being performed.
R
Relaxed Screening/Performance
Open to everyone, but particularly appropriate for anyone who may find the usual theatre/cinema environment challenging, due to an Autism Spectrum Condition, a learning disability, or a fear of the dark, loud noises or confined spaces.
Relaxed Performances/Screenings provide a relaxed environment, where elements are adapted to reduce anxiety or stress. Lighting and sound levels are adjusted to soften their impact and there is a relaxed attitude to noise and leaving and re-entering the auditorium during the performance/screening.
Designated 'chill-out' areas are provided outside the auditorium with activities for people to use if being in the auditorium becomes overwhelming for them.
T
Touch Tour
A Touch Tour is ideal for blind and partially-sighted audiences to familiarise themselves with the set ahead of the performance.
C
Captioned Screening/Performance
Captions display dialogue on-screen (similar to subtitles) and also describe the audio or sound portion of a film/performance allowing audience members who are D/deaf or hard of hearing to follow the script and the action of the film/performance at the same time.
For live performances, the screen is positioned at the side of the stage.
