The voices of the past meet the creative voices of the future in this evening of memory, music and film
In Our Music, Our Story, Music Theatre Wales presents a collection of new works which echo the past and hail the future, including
New short works by young composers from Wales aged 14 – 18 workshopped and developed at the Park & Dare and performed by Sinfonia Cymru
The screen premiere of a new Film Noir Digital Detective Opera created by young people aged 16 – 25 filmed in the corridors and backstage at the Park & Dare.
and two new works created by Welsh composer Luke Lewis which spring from local voices
Quiet Thoughts / Myfyrdodau Tawel – The voices of the present from Harriet Fleuriot’s recently created film Interior Windows interviewing local women
The Echoes Return Slow – Using the ever-powerful voices of the past from the 1971 film Women of the Rhondda mixed with interviews with local miners recorded in the Workingmen’s Institute (now the Park & Dare) by Alan Lomax in 1953 as he toured the world recording local folk music and traditions. Originated as a London Sinfonietta commission for their Writing the Future programme.
Luke Lewis’s work will be performed by Sinfonia Cymru, conducted by Iwan Teifion Davies, incorporating film and tape and a newly commissioned poem from Owen Sheers, created in collaboration with and read by Kyle Stead.
An evening of reflections past and present and a revelation of creativity to come.
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.
