Wales Millennium Centre is currently on the lookout for young participants (16 - 25 year olds) who identify themselves as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender or Questioning (LGBTQ) to take part in a unique experience which will give them an opportunity to work alongside professional theatre and circus artists. Drawing on their own experiences, participants of this project will explore themes of love, acceptance, joy and loss, through the use of theatre and circus. The unique workshop residency will lead onto a longer term project – Puffball, a collaboration between Camden’s Roundhouse and Wales Millennium Centre which will platform the voices of young LGBTQ people across the UK. As part of the project, participants will get a chance to work with the award-winning performance artist Mark Storor (The Fat Girl Gets A Haircut and Other Stories) and a professional circus artist. Sarah Roberts, Creative Learning Manager at Wales Millennium Centre says “Development of young artists is a key priority for Wales Millennium Centre. This project will work with young people without any previous performance training and develop them to a professional standard. We welcome participants with an open mind and a willingness to get involved. No previous performance experience is necessary.” Wales Millennium Centre, as a member of Stonewall’s Diversity Champions programme, is committed to ensuring equal treatment and opportunities for all those who are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender. This residency for Puffball will take place between 12 – 23 August 2013. Deadline for applications is 29 July 2013. It is free to take part.
